GA. TECH ML +230
I think GT will surprise a lot of people in the ACC this year. Paul Johnsons triple option with very talented players is going to be incredibly hard to stop. Pair that with the always stout Georgia Tech defense and I think you will see some "upsets" in the ACC. The first being today @ BC.
Both teams were very good against the run last year and both return I think 4 starters on defense. BC relied on the run vrs Kent because the QB they have now is nothing special. They will try and run the ball on GT and I think GT will play even better D than Kent St did, although they played well! Kent could just not score on BC and when they were down and had to play catch up, they could not stick to the run. Kent was still able to put up a decent 126 yards on the ground. Whats misleading is the YPC they accumulated....its only 3.5 but that figure is driven way down by Kents QB tucking it and running on busted pass plays which had him rush 16 times for 32 yards!
I do not expect BC to contain the triple option from GT and I expect GT to come away with the outright win.
NORTHWESTERN -6.5
Tropical storm or no tropical storm, this line hasnt moved much. And storm or no storm, I still like the Wildcats.
They are very underrated by most people and could be a sleeper in the Big 10. They have a tremendous HB in Tyrell Sutton who will have a field day against Dukes rush D that let up 188 yards vrs James Madison! Last year Duke won this matchup 20-14 even though Northwestern out performed them on offense by about 200 yards!!! The 2 picks Bacher threw last year hurt as he was still able to pass at will and threw for 368 yards on the Duke secondary. If thats not enough, Tyrell Sutton did not play in this game last year!
Duke may be improved but I think Northwestern is much improved this year and will cover the 6.5.
Might have 1 or 2 more plays, still looking. gL
