Georgia Tech - 8.5 vs Duke

[Buzzilla]

Seems a bit high but what do I know.

Yep, a little high. We need to be ready.

 

[LegendaryGT]

We are still pretty difficult to predict, but if we don't self destruct we will cover that several times over.

Why? We suck.

Why? We suck.

They're the worst team we have left on our schedule. If we don't beat dook by 17, it's gonna be a long rest of the season. Line is only 8.5 because nobody trusts us to show up & play.

 

[JoltinJacket]

Why? We suck.

Agreed. Let's just forfeit the last 7 games to end on 3-9 in honor of our former coach.

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

We had to beat FSU on a game winning FG. That's how much we suck.

Luavuhl just lost to Notre Dame who lost to NIU who lost to Buffalo who lost to UConn. Turrible.

Duke is 5-0. Our defense is our defense. I’m not sure why we’re favored.

Agree. Regardless of what the the coach's profess, the players are aware of the line and read the rat poison.

I'm surprised by that spread - seems high. I expect a close game.

Regardless of what a serious statistical analysis would indicate, I think the odds of a non-factory team starting the season 6-0 is less than 5%, so that means we have a greater than 95% chance of winning. I'm not a statistician, but I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

 

[GSOJacket]

We have a history of losing to teams we're supposed to beat handily. I hope we don't add this one to the list.
When I was growing up, the Tech-Duke series was one of the great rivalries in the South. As a North Carolinian, I hated us losing this one even more than to Georgia (there were plenty of Dookies around to rub it in, Bulldogs here were rare). Case in point was the 1951 game my dad took me to in Atlanta, a 14-14 tie that was the only blemish on that great team's record.

Vegas knows all……duke sucks and they are coached by Manny Diaz
