Yellow Jackets vs Panthers Prediction
I’m buying on Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are off a phenomenal performance against North Carolina and I expect another strong effort here. What was most impressive about the win over UNC was the defensive dominance. Eight QB sacks, 13 tackles for loss against a very high powered attack. They face another one here as Pitt can move the ball, but this Tech outfit is playing with extreme confidence now. The win over the Tar Heels was actually even more lopsided than the final score indicated. I haven’t even mentioned the Tech offense yet, but I should as Jeff Sims is now healthy and he was spectacular against UNC. Sims finished the day with the 4th highest QB rating on the entire board and he figures to have more success against a Pittsburgh defense that hasn’t been great so far. The Panthers running game did very little against Tennessee and Western Michigan, and it sure looks as though QB Kenny Pickett is going to have to put together a great game for Pitt to win here. There’s always the chance the hosts could bounce off what was close to a perfect game. But I’m of the opinion this is a team that’s getting better each week and I like Georgia Tech to win this game. Getting more than a FG with the Yellow Jackets is a take for me.

Georgia Tech vs Pitt Analysis from The GoldSheet
Pittsburgh has won and covered the last three meetings in this series. The Panthers are 8-3 against the spread in their last 11 road games, while Georgia Tech is 5-10 against the spread in their last 15 home games on campus (last week’s win over North Carolina was at Mercedes Benz Stadium). Pitt running back Vincent Davis ran for a career-high 247 rushing yards, including a 74-yard TD jaunt on the first play of the game, in the Panthers’ win over the Yellow Jackets last season. Georgia Tech’s defense has been tremendous over the past few weeks while the QB combo of Jordan Yates and Jeff Sims co-existed beautifully last week and may do damage against a Panthers’ defense that gave up 34 points to Tennessee and 44 to Western Michigan.
