2015 College Football Week 4 Georgia Tech vs. Duke Picks & Predictions
By Anthony Rome
Following its first loss of the season, a banged-up Georgia Tech team will take on ACC rival Duke at 12:00PM ET today.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book GT Bets, the Yellow Jackets are now 7.5-point road favorites versus the Blue Devils after opening as a 9-point favorite. As for the total, it opened at 57.5 before dropping to 57.
Georgia Tech is dealing with multiple injuries, including at A-back where Qua Searcy is expected to miss over a month with a lower extremity injury. The Jackets were already thin at the position after losing Dennis Andrews before the season and Searcy had picked up the slack. Receiver Michael Summers wasn't listed on the team's depth chart this week, which means Brad Stewart will draw the start.
Duke played a sloppy game at home last week in a 19-10 loss to Northwestern, but held its own defensively. While the Blue Devils won't give the Yellow Jackets the same fits as Notre Dame did last week, they should be able to contend with a banged-up GA Tech offense. Take the points.
