NCAAF - 11-28-2025 - PointSpreadTake Georgia Tech
Taking Georgia Tech at +14 makes sense because their offense has consistently proven it can put points on the board against quality opponents. Haynes King has been the engine, throwing for over 2,500 yards while rushing for 883 yards and 15 touchdowns, giving the Jackets a true dual‑threat quarterback who can stress defenses in multiple ways. They average 35.3 points per game and nearly 486 yards of total offense, ranking among the top 20 nationally. Even against Georgia’s elite defense, Tech’s ability to generate chunk plays through receivers like Isiah Canion and Malik Rutherford means they’re capable of keeping drives alive and finding the end zone. Getting two full touchdowns provides a cushion for an offense that rarely gets shut down completely.
On the other side, Georgia is clearly the more complete team, but rivalry games often play tighter than expected. The Bulldogs’ defense allows just 17.4 points per game, yet Tech’s tempo and versatility can force them into uncomfortable situations. Georgia Tech’s defense has been shaky, but if their offense can trade scores and King avoids turnovers, the Jackets have the tools to hang around. With the spread sitting at +14, Tech doesn’t need to win outright—they just need to keep it competitive, and their explosive offense combined with the emotional edge of rivalry week makes covering that number a realistic outcome.
