Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech Prediction: Under 55.5
Georgia Tech comes into this game with a solid undefeated record of 5-0, and they have shown an ability to score, ranking 27th in the nation with 185 points for the season. However, their defense has been equally noteworthy, allowing just 106 points, which ranks them 57th. Despite their offensive capabilities, their games have shown a trend toward lower scores, with an average combined score of 51.8 points in their last five outings.
Virginia Tech, on the other hand, has a struggling 2-4 record and has had issues putting up points, standing at 56th in points scored and 103rd in points against. They have averaged 23.5 points per game but have allowed an average of 28.3 points, leading to lower-scoring contests. Their offensive inconsistencies coupled with a resilient Georgia Tech defense suggest a game that may not reach the higher end of scoring predictions.
The head-to-head history between these teams also hints at the potential for lower scores, as seen in their last encounter in 2024, where the total ended at just 27 points. With Georgia Tech’s recent games consistently staying under totals greater than 50 and Virginia Tech’s offensive struggles, it seems likely that this trend will continue.
With the total set at 55.5, and considering the current form and trends of both teams, the under appears to be the favorable pick. A projected final score of Georgia Tech 30 – Virginia Tech 20 supports this under pick.
- Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech Prediction: Under 55.5
- Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech Score: Georgia Tech 30 – Virginia Tech 20
