[CuseJacket]

Georgia Tech opens as 7 point underdogs; 6 points depending on source.

My wallet and my heart just parted company.

Earlier today I said GT will lose by 7 to 13 points to VT, so this spread seems reasonable.

Considering that the 5 of the last 6 games have been a TD of less difference.......that spread is to be expected.

We were 7 point favorites last year. I like being the underdog, less pressure.

J Howell has up +5.5 http://www.jhowell.net/cf/cfpred.txt
Atomic had us at +1 before the Ga Southern game so that could go up a couple points since we didn't cover the spread. But then again, neither did VT

I think all the talk about VT being more fired up because they lost to ECU is bull. IMHO, they would have been fired up either way because they know how important the game is and how close they have been in the past. Now they may have a nagging self doubt about their QB being a Texas transferred chokie.

Duke 18 point favorite at Tulane.

 

[Yaller Jacket]

That was exactly my guess.

Seems about right. I look forward to seeing if they can handle JT or he handles them. If it's the latter, I would guess that the rednecks will have an unhappy home trip.

I expect a close game and, as usual, I'm hoping for a one point win. As the season goes on, I'll begin to hope for more. We'll see if I'm right.

Duke is actually at home vs. Tulane for what it's worth.

GT now +8.

 

[Atomic Jacket]

The reason VT lost to ECU is that they spent all last week practicing for the triple option. They will be ready for GT.

First, there's no way you know that.
Second, even if true it'd be remarkably stupid on their part.

We give the VT Defense far too much credit. Watch a few series from last year. They telegraph their moves.

Awesome

Pleasantly surprised, thought it'd 10 - 13 pts. Guess that ECU loss sucked some points from the spread.

i woulda guessed +10 too....

I also wouldn't bet this game if it was the last on earth. Two teams know one knows what the heck to expect

 

[GT Man]

I like us versus the chokies. I think this close call against southern will teach the team a valuable lesson.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

My early line would be +14 at least.......sure hope I am wrong....

What worries me is that we have not been able to get the Bback going against the 3 weakest opponents on our schedule.
