This week’s college football odds<\/a> features a top-20 matchup from the ACC between No.14 Georgia Tech and No.20 Miami, who have lost four in a row to the Yellow Jackets, but are coming off a upset in a big rivalry game.<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Georgia Tech vs<\/span> Clemson odds<\/span><\/b><\/a> – Thursday, September 14, 7:30 PM ET<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The Yellow Jackets raced out to a 24-0 lead, and had to hold on by the skin of their teeth in a 30-27 win over Clemson. As usual, it was a fierce ground game that carried the Yellow Jackets to victory as they racked up 301 yards on the ground. But how far can they go without a passing game? Josh Nesbitt ran for 91 yards, but he was a brutal 3-of-14 for 83 yards with two picks when he had to drop back. He did make a couple of clutch throws down the stretch, but the triple-option offense works much better if the passing game is involved.<\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Jacory<\/span><\/font><\/span> Harris threw for 386 yards, which was the most by a Miami<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> quarterback against Florida<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>, as the Hurricanes stunned the Seminoles 38-34 on the road. It stunned everyone but the Hurricanes, who have now won five of their last six trips to Florida<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>. Miami<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> didn’t have to bother with a ground game as Harris was on fire, and it’s made more impressive by the fact that he had an injured shoulder. But the Hurricanes have a few things to sort out before the Georgia Tech, namely, the run defense. Miami<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> gave up 110 yards against a Florida<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> that wasn’t even really looking to run much. <\/o:p><\/p>\n

The Hurricanes are 4.5-point favorites at home against the Yellow Jackets, who have beaten <\/span><\/font>Miami<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> in four straight meetings. Even though there aren’t many NFL picks<\/a> on the field, there’ll still be a lot of talent, particularly on offense, so this should go over the posted total. However, we’re not sold on Miami<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>’s ability to slow down the Georgia Tech triple option, which lit up the Hurricanes to the tune of 472 yards in last year’s 41-23 romp. They may not gain that many on Thursday, but they’ll do enough to get past the Hurricanes. Go with Georgia Tech for an upset in your sports picks<\/a> on Thursday.<\/o:p><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
