The set-up: Both teams come in off disappointing records, but I expect the home side to fight until the final whistle. Georgia Tech is 2-3 in conference play, while UNC is 1-6 overall and 1-4 in ACC play. Georgia Tech has won three of its last four and it now has its eye on a bowl game, but the Tar Heels will look to play spoiler.

The teams: Georgia Tech is averaging 38.9 PPG and it's allowing 28.3. QB Tobias Oliver had 215 yards and three TD's in last Thursday's 49-28 win. TaQuon Marshall returns from injury to retain his starting RB role this week though.

UNC feel 31-21 at Virginia last weekend. QB Nathan Elliot had 271 yards and two TD's, but a late fumble proved costly. Overall the Tar Heels are averaging 23 PPG and allowing 34.3.

The pick: Note though that Georgia Tech is a terrible 1-4 ATS in its last five as a road favorite and 0-3 ATS in its last three when playing with eight days rest, while UNC is 5-3 ATS in its last eight as an underdog in the 3.5 to ten points range and 8-4 ATS in its last 12 off a loss against a conference rival. Grab the points.
