I will take the Tarheels here in a spread that looks a little too big, but I think North Carolina is the 3rd or 4th best team in this conference. Georgia Tech any time they have stepped up in competition in the conference have been beat by double digits that includes Clemson and Miami at home. Now they go on the road to face North Carolina, whom arguably has better offense than both of those teams. Itâs also worth noting that North Carolina is off the bye which is a huge advantage when facing the option. I also like how this defense looked the last 3 weeks before the bye.
Mitch Trubisky is arguably the best throwing QB that Georgia Tech has faced and this offense can score quick which is bad news for Georgia Tech because they are 120th in sack %, 113th in adjusted pass defense, and 94th vs. the run. When you see Georgia Tech giving up 37 and 35 to Pittsburgh and Duke you have to feel confident that North Carolina off a bye may be able to get into the 40âs or even 50âs in this game.
