Game 6 #GTvsDUKE Predictions

[g0lftime]

Rain in the forecast. Unless they did a change recently they have a natural grass field. Could be slippery.

I think we will win if we are -1 in turnovers or better (i.e. we only lose the ball one more time than Duke or get the ball more times). (I misposted +1 yesterday elsewhere.)

I consider it a turnover when we are near the 50 and have 4th and 3 and run a play up the middle and the play hasn't worked all day. And with a QB who just came in that play. That is a coaching turnover.

Setting up a failure by a player is a cardinal sin of coaching.

I am going to pick us winning 38-17. I am a little leery on my pick... Mainly because we could easily blow Duke out the of the stadium with a 41-10 type score and at the same time lose to Duke by 10.. So, I am going to say our good team shows up... Going off the see-saw theory, this week should equal the good GT team. So, with hopeful aspirations I am picking us by 3 TDs...

I agree. The "Seesaw Theory" will be tested this week as it is the turn of the Good Tech to show up. On that basis, Jackets by 3 TDs. even in Durham.

Agree. heavy showers in the morning and T'storms in the afternoon, so my weather app says

It's raining in eastern NC right now and this weather system is moving toward the Triangle. Rain is very likely and the field will have two days of rain before the game. When they installed the new turf in 2015 they supposedly installed a high tech drainage system. This will be a good test.

I expect us to beat Duke. I picked us Gt < 7

 

[iceeater1969]

This never works when I do it.

I just Keep picking gt by plus 14. I feel like i accomplished a great victory until game time. I did my part now lets up to them to not screw it up.

Seriously , if we dont beat due by 14, chances will be' out in motion.

In the wind and the rain…
Golden Hurricane 24-14, blowing the Dukies off of the HS Field.


hey, I like the little stadium in the crisp Fall, and not a bad seat in the devil’s playground.

High scoring game no one can stop the other team, team that does not turn it over wins.

Guess no ones winning because I don't see either team keeping it at 0 TOs

 

[MWBATL]

A couple of years ago, Alabama scored so many points on plays NOT run by their offense (so special teams and defense) that they would have gone 6-6 if their offense had not scored a single points all season long.

Think about that stat for a long minute.

That's what we're missing.

GT wins this time, and my prediction record improves to 2-4

 

[alagold]

The ONLY thing I like about this game is our "alternate win" pattern. But being visitor and Sim's TOs in rain have me very worried.

 

[GTpdm]

NM. Wrong thread.

 

[RamblinRed]

So far in CGC's tenure we have 2 road wins - 16-13 against FSU and the overtime 28-21 over Miami. Both teams finished under .500. Duke feels like the best opportunity to get a road win this season.
If past is any guidance than it is likely to be close. I'm going with GT by 7.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I picked us to win +14. If we lose to Duke something is seriously wrong.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

I picked us to win +14. If we lose to Duke something is seriously wrong.

I picked us to win too. If we lose, there is something very seriously wrong. But it's football and we have to get / make the breaks.

I didn't watch Clemson or UNC live and we did ok. I won't watch the Duke game live either. Best outcome, either watch replay and enjoy the win or skip the game altogether.

 

[Yaller Jacket]

I'm thinking last week's embarrassment will bring out the fire in us. GT 35 Duke 17

 

[WreckinGT]

I’m thinking a 10 point win. We come out a little flat but get it together in the 2nd half.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I didn't watch Clemson or UNC live and we did ok. I won't watch the Duke game live either. Best outcome, either watch replay and enjoy the win or skip the game altogether.

If I am available to watch the game live, I record and watch on about a 40 minute delay. That allows me to skip through the ads. I stop watching at half time and pick up again after about a 30 minute delay. If Tech plays well I can usually catch up to live action with about 2 minutes left in the game. If things go south I don’t finish the game. My wife doesn’t understand my approach but it preserves what little sanity I have left.

"If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right" - Seinfeld

Despite the worst case outcome on the field, GTSwarm pollsters improved to 6.7% correct last week.

I don't know how much credence to place on this but CFN picks Tech to win and cover (barely) based primarily upon Duke's penchant for turnovers. FWIW

 

[TampaGT]

Rain will make this an ugly game. Turnovers will kill us this week 21-14 puke
