Thoughts on Miami/GT?

[CoachCB]

I'm leaning Miami here. I had this line around 10....and don't think much of Ga Tech's home field advantage. Thoughts?

Miami has traditionally played well against GT's triple option attack. My only worry here is Miami has 3 freshman linebackers who start and see significant time. The triple option is the toughest offense for a linebacking group to defend in my opinion. For me the game boils down to how those LB's handle GT's offense. Hope this helps. Good luck

Richt owned GT while at GA. He knows how to handle that spread. Miami has the speed on defense and will swarm GT. Not to mention Miami comes off a weeks rest and is super hungry to have a magical season. They are an under the radar team because of Lou, Clem, FL St in their conference. They are dangerous.

I tend to agree with you. I might be on the canes this week

Richt was 13-2 SU with 10 covers vs GT while at UGA but GT have scored on him since Johnson took over. Both wins were with johnson (4-4 ATS) and GT averaged 26 ppg and 304 rushing yards/game

L4 seasons (should cover pretty much every player on team) GT have avg 312 rushing/game on Miami so should get their yards. Johnson hasn't stopped Miami at all and other than last year really struggled to stop Richt at UGA so should be some points here. 52 looking low to me

Coach I agree with you, GT is not all that good, Miami is playing pretty solid ball. If GT gets down early with their lack of a passing game this gets ugly pretty quick. Miami is a play for me.

App. St posed no problem for Miami.

GT is so slow. They dont hit the edge like the old days so they are left to run the middle.

Miami wins but i dont like givin the DD PTS

It was a no play for me

Miami should win this game! However on a few plays vs app st the option got those linebackers. So I am little concerned about it. They have had 2 weeks to prepare for tech .I will be at the game Go Canes

Miami hasnt played anybody. GT sucks this year. Richt loves Bobby Dodd stadium tho. If Miami has their passing game clicking they win this easy. Gotta jump on GT fast. Otherwise it will be a dogfight

Isn't the line right around a touchdown? I fired early and got a 6 1/2. Has it shot up four points?

Great info. Personally like the over. I think GT gets some points here on these Freshman, and that total is artificially low based on GT's point production this year. They have faced very stout run D's. They should find things a little easier this week.
