Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets ESPN Game Preview

Virginia Tech Hokies and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets game on Thursday at Bobby Dodd Stadium and televised on ESPN.

As of this writing, Virginia Tech has been installed as a 1-point favorite and that has us dressing up with the Jackets as the Hokies are just 1-8 ATS as conference favorites off a double-digit ATS loss, as well as 1-5 ATS with rest versus conference opposition.

It also brings into play Paul Johnson’s 13-5 SU and 13-4-1 ATS mark as a ‘pick’ or dog of less than five points, including 5-0 SU and ATS versus a foe off a double-digit ATS loss.

However, should the money move to the hosts, don’t be fooled by their ‘BRILLIANT DISGUISE’ as squads who have upset undefeated teams as a dog and are asked to lay points in the follow-up game have struggled mightily throughout the years.

Thus, keep a close eye on the line. Nonetheless, our database – and not a gypsy – says the future is right as the Yellow Jackets cover their fourth straight in the series and improve to 11-3 ATS with conference revenge.

Oddsmakers currently have the Hokies listed as 1-point favorites versus the Yellow Jackets, while the game's total is sitting at 50.

Take it (with GT) or leave it.
