UGA -31.5

I'm disappointed because I doubt there will be a moneyline with the spread this high

You probably have to go back before the modern era when William Alexander did not play his starters for a few weeks and had them practicing exclusively for the UGA game. I believe UGA was undefeated and in line for the Rose Bowl and we knocked them off.
 
UGA LOS on both sides will dominate us so nothing else will matter.

UGA would have to play bad early with TOs for it to even be close in the 2nd half.
 
I think our defense keeps the score down, and makes the result reasonable. I'd take Tech and the points if I gambled
 
I don't see UGA putting the beat down on us with the SECCG on the horizon. It cannot be any worse than last year. I just don't see GT being able to score many points on offense. We will need some defense takeaways or special team magic to pull this off.

Honestly surprised it's that high. We'll be playing hard and UGA is just going to be draining clock and trying to keep starters off the field. Kind of screams a 28-3 type game

The 30+ line is around what their second string would run up on us if Kirby sent the starters to the GA Dome instead of Sanford&Son.

Unfortunately I think this is the main issue. It's also the difference between really good teams (like Tenn.) and them right now. You can get away with a QB like Bennett when you dominate both LOS.

In 1927, UGA was undefeated and considered the #1 team in the nation. The Golden Tornado upset UGA that year and prevented Georgie from going to the Rose Bowl. As a result, Tech stopped the Bull Slobs from winning a National Title. Of course, in 1928, Tech beat UGA again and won the National Title in the.... Rose Bowl!

GO JACKETS! THWG!
 
I think it boils down to this:
If UGA plays like they did against UK, Missouri and Kent St. AND we play like we did against Pitt, Duke, and UNC, then the game could be close late (within a score) and with a few breaks we could pull off the biggest upset in series history.

If UGA plays like they did against Oregon, South Carolina or Vandy AND we play like we did against FSU, Ole Miss or Miami then the game will likely be a blowout and out of hand quickly.

That said, 35 points is a lot of damn points. We lost 42-0 to Ole Miss on the third game of the year with a coach that was soon to be fired and we haven't lost by a 35 point spread to any other team, even in the games we looked terrible in.

Conversely, UGA has beaten Vandy, South Carolina and Oregon by more than 35 but has not been nearly as dominant on the scoreboard in most other wins.

Just seems like too many points to me. That said, it could definitely go either way or anywhere in between. :lol:

With a few big breaks it could be close late. Tech really has nothing to lose in this game. Pull out all the stops. Some unexpected onside kicks. A fake punt or two. Lots of going for it on 4th down. That kind of thing. Special teams, penalties and turnovers could be big.

You never know. :fingersx:

Line opened at -31.5 and quickly moved to -35.5.

A bit surprised as I thought it would be less than 3 touchdowns. I'm not making any predictions since Tech has been Jekyll & Hyde this year with a lot ugly games. We could easily lose by more than the line. But it's fun to speculate on how big of an upset this would be. The biggest in the series history I would believe.

UGA #1 in the nation, destined for the CFP and a 5 touchdown favorite. Tech with an interim HC and a 3rd & 4th string QB. The stuff legends are made of.

They probably take us a bit more seriously after upsetting UNC and will likely bring their "A" game. Not likely to catch them napping. We'll see. :fingersx:

A few minutes ago, I told my wife, "I've got a surprise for you. We're gonna' beat Georgia Saturday." She said, "That'd be good."
 
We average 17.5 ppg. Only eight teams in the country average fewer than that. We give up 27.6 ppg.

UGA scores 38.4 ppg and gives up 11.1 ppg (best in the nation).

I think the spread is about right. I'd anticipate a 38-7 type game.
 
I don’t think we understand how bad the ACC is this year. Ole Miss wasn’t just a off day. I hate to say it, but this game is going to be a blow out. The only way it’s remotely competitive is if we are +3 on turnovers.

We are going to close the gap with UGA under the right coaching hire and institutional investment, but it’s not going to be this year.
 
UGA has no motive to run up the score against GT. They have bigger games ahead of them. They will play a lot of backups if/when they get up on GT by a comfortable margin.
