Duke @ Georgia Tech (-2.5??!!)

[smathis30]

GT opens as more or less a FG favorite in what is essentially a pick em.

S&P predicted win % rest of season [My computer predicted spread]
GT vs Duke- 47% [GT -6]
GT @ VT - 39% [VT -1]
GT @ UNC - 67% [GT - 20]
GT vs Miami - 32% [Miami -8]
GT vs UVA - 48% [GT -5]
GT @ UGA - 9% [UGA -25]

Right now I'll take a 3 point win.

I am getting that feeling that we are re-living 2014 and 2016 all over again. Start slow, with mistakes, and then become a really good team......we shall see

 

[melloace]

Seems about right. Most of the prediction polls have the game between 47%-51% from what I've seen. Throw in the 3 points for home field and -2.5 seems right. We just need to take care of business.

GT isn’t as bad as most of us think, only bad loss is Pitt and that happens every year we always lose a fluke one. USF and Clemson are undefeated.

oddly enough we started 2016 3-3

yeah its really hard to pin down where exactly GT is right now.

2 losses are at home to a perinneal contender and on the road to an undefeated team

Wins are over teams with a combined 1 win over FBS competition

Pitt is just as GT has been

GT wins by 3 over Duke 31-28

Line sounds about right to me. What were all the punctuation marks about ? You think Duke should be favored ? Or we should be favored more ?

 

[slugboy]

I expected Duke to be favored by 3. The Louisville game really shifted things.

USF is a 14 point underdog at Tulsa this week...

Put everything you have on USF

That has to be published wrong!!

you sure you read that right? Tulsa is 1-4 with their only win against an FCS school

 

[Lavoisier]

I haven't watched Duke, how do they look this year? They have a better record, are coming off a BYE, and have outplayed us recently. I'm actually surprised they have it as a wash (home field being worth a FG).

its a posting error on BetOnline. The only other book with spreads open has it flipped

more of mocking half the forum that made predictions that Tech would finish 2-10

They look good. Their defense plays smart. They tackle. Their quarterback will pull it down and run it. Lots of midrange passing.
Not much in the running game, but that might just be VT with good defense.

Season to date, Northwestern and Baylor look about even with us, and Duke handled them both in double digit wins.
Two questions for the upcoming game: 1. Is Duke getting worse, like you might guess from the VT game, and 2. Is GT getting better like you might guess from the Louisville game?
We need the answers to both to be “yes”.

Duke's QB wont run much since he just got a metal plate put in his shoulder

That’s right - where my 2-10ers at???

Duke, UNC, and Virginia should all be toss ups. We play clean good football and we can go 3-0 in those games. But we can also go 0-3 if we play poorly.

We win Saturday, and 7-5 should be our floor amazingly.
