9:00 PM EST. Very seldom will you see us spotting this many points with a recognized 13-4 program because they are almost always overpriced but that is not the case here. You see, Georgia Tech is coming off two outstanding double digits wins against Clemson and N.C. State respectively with the latter coming on the road. The Yellow Jackets also have a recent win over #9 North Carolina by double digits. Aside from playing that aforementioned trio and beating them, the Jackets played Louisville and Duke in between. Georgia Tech has had a ton of exposure lately because they have played some marquee names and they have looked pretty damn good in doing so. This market is not anxious to be giving this intruder double digits when they have been winning by double digits and that’s the basis for this play. Sell high my friends, which is precisely what we are doing here.

Buy low. Va Tech has dropped three of four and lost its ranking in the process. Not only have the Hokies dropped three of four, they lost 104-78 to the same team (N.C. State) Georgia Tech just beat by 10 points. The result of their three losses in their last four games and getting smoked by Florida State and N.C. State in the process, is that the general consensus is that the Hokies are an overrated bunch. That said, basketball is all about matchups and this is not a good one for the Jackets. The Jackets are an incredibly offensively challenged bunch that is about to play one of the finer defenses in the country. Georgia’s offensive efficiency ranking is 207th, and their possessions per 40 minutes is even worse at 237th. What all this translates to is that the Jackets are going to have to hit a very high percentage of their shots to cover this number and that is extremely unlikely to happen. The Jackets lost to Duke, 110-57 and they lost to Louisville 65-50, which gives you an idea of the type of numbers they put up against top defenses. Va Tech enters this one in a foul mood and this is the perfect victim to take their frustrations out on.
