Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets The Georgia Bulldogs' preseason No. 1 ranking is long gone and they have no shot at winning an SEC title, as cross-state-rival, Georgia tech comes to town. Odds makers are calling the home team more than a touchdown favorite in this one. NCAA betting lines have the Bulldogs as 7.5 point favorites with the total sitting at 48.5.

At 9-3, Georgia hopes to try and win their eighth straight over the Yellow Jackets, get into double digits in wins and try to strengthen its BCS standing.

Georgia Tech would certainly love to end Georgia's dominance, but the Yellow Jackets have no control over the game that will decide whether it plays for the ACC title. Georgia Tech will be scoreboard watching as their ACC fate will be
decided by the Virginia, Virginia Tech game almost 400 miles away.

If Virginia beats Virginia Tech on Saturday (a game that will be played at the same time as Georgia Tech-Georgia) the Yellow Jackets will represent the Coastal Division in the ACC championship game Dec. 6.

The Bulldogs have had 14 days to prepare for Georgia Tech's run-oriented scheme. Tech rushed for 472 yards against Miami a week ago, the second-highest total ever allowed by the Hurricanes.

"They had an off week to kind of stew about it and think about how we're going to attack 'em," said Georgia Tech defensive tackle Darryl Richard. "I hope they enjoyed the game."

Tech may have been able to run all over Miami, but it will not be as easy against the Bulldogs. Take Georgia and give the 7 points.
