Public Money Consensus

Remarkably, 94% of the public have taken the Yellow Jackets with the points as a road pooch contrary to spotting points with UNC at home. As a result of this, the market has fallen a full point affording UNC takers a bit more breathing room. In Over/Under markets the Total Line has moved four points as a response to heavy action on the Over as the market set off at 57 and now sits at 61.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at North Carolina Tar Heels Prediction

Georgia Tech’s record of 5-3 is quite deceptive, as is the 6-2 record of UNC. UNC is better than their record suggests while Georgia Tech is far worse than their record implies. The difference in quality of results against premium competition is the driving price behind this market. While it is always tempting to take a fair allotment of points, the market is astute and the price reflects an analysis and prognostication of both teams. If UNC wins out they have a shot to return to the ACC Championship Game and with this being said they will not take their foot off the gas by any stretch imaginable. Georgia Tech likes to slow the game down and run the ball, relying on their defense to win contests. The portfolio of results suggest otherwise but given the fact UNC is a fast-strike offense, we expect GT to implement this strategy and thus shorten the game making the Under a great handcuff for an against the spread play.
