I don't know, GA Tech seems like the play and that's my lean but in looking over their schedule, they beat some good teams but most were close. BC, FL State and GA by 3 and Clemson 4. They got their ass kicked by North Carolina and lost to Virginia (unimpressive) and barely got by Gardner-Webb. I know their QB was out but still.

Anyone want to weigh in on why Ga Tech is the play?

I see GT getting up early and then LSU trying to pass to keep up and throw 2 INTs.

UNC game was closer than it looked. They ran the ball for 326 yards, but fumbled the ball twice in UNC territory. Nesbett knows how to run their offense and the last two games they put up 40 points each including a comeback win over Georgia who destroyed LSU. LSU is starting a true freshmen and GT brings alot of pressure on the QB. LSU defense has been horrible all year as they gave up 31 points each their last 3 games needing a miracle 4th quarter comeback vs. Troy, loss to Ole Miss at home, and loss to Arkansas on the road.

Home game for GT and LSU doesn't have too much to play here. IMO GT wins 31-17.

I agree. While LSU HAS had a month to prepare for the option...GT has also had a month to prepare for this lackluster LSU defense. If they can keep Scott in check, LSU should score less than 20.

One good thing LSU has going for it is the amount of athletes on their defense. They shouldn't wear down late in the game like other teams GT has stomped.

That is true, they did have 3 turnovers and outgained the Tar Heels

Scott started off strong, but hasn't run for over 100 yards his last 4 games and is averaging less than 4 yards a carry.

GT doesn't throw, but they are in the Top 10 for plays over 20 yards. Might be able to stop the option every now and then, but eventually they break off 50-60 yard TD runs.

People look too much at what the public is on or the touts. Go with your gut and be confident about your capping skills.

Over is the play, both will score, though the total is long stale.

LSU, despite their pitiful ATS marks over the years, is usually the chalk, they've always responded well when earmarked as the dog, especially on the road or neutral. There are also LSU's stout Georgia Dome SU and ATS marks this past decade.

IMO the Under is the gem in this game. GT's defense when healthy is pretty damn good, and LSU has made some adjustments on the defensive end of the ball. So much value is created because of the LSU/GA and GT/GA matchups being high scoring. Under and lean to LSU to get the money.
