Preview

Two undefeated teams will meet in Atlanta on Thursday night, and the #5 ranked Clemson Tigers come in as a double-digit favorite. Clemson’s offense has failed to impress this season, and quarterback Deshaun Watson has completed just 56 percent of his passes with seven TDs and three INTS so far. The Yellow Jackets are coming off quite an impressive home win over Vanderbilt, out-gaining the Commodores 511-275 (total yards) in a 38-7 victory. Home field has been crucial in previous meetings between these two teams, the home team has won outright, as well as covering the spread in six straight in this series. Georgia Tech lost nine of it’s 10 games against Power Five teams in 2015, but the one win came at home in a shocking upset over #9 ranked Florida State. The Yellow Jackets lost four home games last season, but those losses all came in games decided by seven points or less.
