The set-up: I think the Yellow Jackets' option attack will prove to be too much for the Gophers to keep up to down the stretch in this one. Georgia Tech ended the year with a loss to Georgia, finishing 7-5 overall, while Minnesota was 6-6, managing to gut out the sixth win with a very satisfying victory over rival Wisconsin. Can anyone say letdown spot? In fact, that victory over the Badgers is much bigger than a win here could possibly mean. Georgia Tech couldn't finish with an upset in its finale, but it had signature victories of its own over Miami, Virginia Tech and Virginia this season.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but GT is 4-0-1 ATS in its last five neutral site games, while Minnesota is just 2-5-1 ATS in its last eight following a SU victory. This one has blowout written all over it. Lay the points.
