BYU -3 -115 3.5% PLAY
The Big 12 was the far superior conference this year and went 6-1 vs. the ACC +13.8 points per game. ACC has been in a decline the last few years, and this is just a bad match up in my opinion. BYU has done well against top offenses this year going 4-2, two losses against Texas Tech, but held the other four to 13, 21, 13, and 14 points. Texas Tech also sports a top 10 defense, which really wore down the BYU defense late in those two games, which led to Texas Tech. Georgia Tech just does not have a top defense. They ranked 97th in yards per play this season, and 104th in ypc allowed, 76th in rush success defense, which will be troublesome vs. BYU. BYU also takes good care of the ball while Georgia Tech can not turn you over, which means BYU likely will win the turnover battle here. You can shop around there is BYU -3.5 +102, buying the half gets you to -115, which I think is worth it. I think we are getting a lower # here due to Georgia Tech nearly beating Georgia, but they did that last year too, and went on to lose to a worse Vanderbilt team. Georgia Tech also without some coaches for this game too.
