Written By David Hess (Follow me on Twitter @DavidHess311)
When: 7:30 PM ET, Thursday, November 12, 2015
Where: Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia
Televised: ESPN 2
Odds: The Game opened up with Georgia Tech as 5 point favorites and that has been bet down slightly to 3.5 in most shops. The OU line currently sits at 53.5.
The Virginia Tech Hokies come in at just 4-5 on the year, which is very disappointing a they had the talent this year to compete or a trip to the ACC title game. That is not going to happen, but they still have a shot at making it to a bowl game. That makes this game a must. The Hokies were having a good year until a trip to East Carolina stooped all that as they lost that game and have now lost 3 of their last 5 since. The hokies have been a rather average offensive squad this year as they rank 56th in scoring, putting up 30.6 ppg, but they have scored just 26 ppg in the ACC. Their defense hasn’t been as strong as was expected, but they have allowed a decent 24.3 ppg.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets had even higher hopes this year than the Hokies, yet they have a worse record at 3-6. This was a team that many felt would win their division Maybe teams are starting to figure out the Triple Option that they run. That could be part of it as they have averaged 300+ ypg on the ground the last 4 years, but this year that number is at 267 ypg. That is still good for 8th in the nation. They have been able to move the ball, but they also have made the type of mistakes that lead to missed scoring chances. The Defense has been solid this year as they rank 43rd in yards allowed and 62nd in points allowed (26.1 ppg)

[111] Virginia Tech +3.5 over Georgia Tech
The dog is 8-1 the last 9 in the in the series and that is the way I will go here. Neither team has had a good season so far, but the Hokies are in a better spot to be playing for a bowl game and I feel they have the better defense here as well. Georgia Tech is thinking about a season that might have been, while the Hokies still have something to play for and that should lead them to the big win here.
