Bet on Georgia Tech vs. Georgia
Georgia has won its last two meetings with Georgia Tech, covering the spread in both games. However, Georgia is just 3-8 against the spread in their last 11 home games and 2-7 ATS in their last nine non-conference games. Georgia Tech has covered the spread in six straight Tuesday games. The public betting is behind Georgia tonight, but I think the Yellow Jackets have enough balance on offense to give the Bulldogs problems and steal a win.
