Georgia Tech vs. North Carolina State Betting Odds and Stats

Televised on ABC, this betting game between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium will be a great game to bet.

The hiring of former Syracuse head coach Paul Pasqualoni to take over at UConn raised more than a few eyebrows among Huskies fans. And with the sled dogs from Storrs struggling to a 2-2 start, the grumbling has not slowed down.

One thing’s for sure: Pasqualoni had better light a fi re under his ‘rushing attack’ after UConn limped to a pathetic 80 yards in 42 carries (1.9 yards per rush!) against Buffalo last week – a defense not heretofore known as an immovable object.

Fortunately for the home team, they get to tackle a second straight MAC foe before their Big East opener at West Virginia, and Western Michigan’s run defense proved to be a work in progress in Saturday’s loss to Illinois, yielding a generous 5.7 yards per carry to the Illini.

Chances are the Broncos will be hungover following their bitter 23-20 defeat at Champaign and more likely interested in next week’s Homecoming affair with rising power Bowling Green (a team that WMU man-handled in 2010 by a 41-7 score).

Visiting head coach Bill Cubit has tasted little success in today’s role, failing to cash in four straight tries as a non-conference pick or dog of less than 7 points.

Sportsbooks currently have the Yellow Jackets listed as 10-point favorites versus the Wolfpack, while the game's total is sitting at 62½.

Our database seconds that motion be reminding us that Big East home favorites of 25 or less points are 34-10-1 ATS against MAC invaders.
