The #21 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (4-0) have started the season in an impressive fashion, but they might get more than they bargained for in Saturday’s road game against the North Carolina State Wolfpack (2-2).
Start time is slated for 3:30 PM ET and both ABC and ESPN have television rights to this ACC contest.
Georgia Tech has gone to 4-0 with 63-21, 49-21, 66-24, and 35-28 victories over Western Carolina, Middle Tennessee State, Kansas, and North Carolina, respectively.
The Yellow Jackets have not only won every game this season, but they’ve also covered the point spread while sending the total over the number in all 4.
North Carolina State grabbed a 43-21 win against Liberty to start their year before losing 27-34 at Wake Forest.
The Wolfpack rebounded with a 35-13 win against South Alabama before again tasting defeat in a 14-44 drubbing at Cincinnati.
North Carolina State has failed to cover the point spread in any of their 4 games, while the under has been a winner in the last 2.
With that point spread-covering disparity, it’s not much of a surprise to see that Georgia Tech is garnering close to 80% of all bets.
Despite that consensus, the opening line of Georgia Tech -10.5 has actually been bet back to -10.
Saturday’s total is at 63 and has been bet up just a tick since debuting at 62.5.
Those wagering in Las Vegas that are considering the under should know that a 63.5 is available at the Wynn.
North Carolina State won 45-28 on the road last year, and the home team has lost outright in all 4 meetings since 2004.
The underdog has covered the point spread in 5 of the last 6 clashes between Georgia Tech and North Carolina State, while the over has won the money in the last 2.
