I am sure it has a lot to do with the weather that was forecasted (60% chance of rain) and actual weather absolutely gorgeous, 88 and sunny ( I am in Ft Lauderdale). People sure were guessing that Tech's running attack would get bogged down, either way the line at 4 is still generous as it should be around 1.5 or 2. Miami is not as strong as people believe and playing at Landshark Stadium is not the same home advantage as it was at the old Orange Bowl...believe me on that.
Good Luck, like Tech +

#14 Georgia Tech vs. #20 MIAMI FLA (-5.5)
04:45 PM Pacific Time Thursday, Sep-17
Lean Georgia Tech
Miami Florida 28 Georgia Tech 27
Miami has had some time to come down from the high of their thrilling 38-34 win at Florida State on opening week and the Hurricanes' sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris looks like he's made huge strides as a passer based on his 21 for 34 for 386 yards performance in that win. Harris could post some good number tonight too against a questionable Georgia Tech secondary that was lit up in the 2nd half of their narrow 30-27 win over Clemson last Thursday night. However, Georgia Tech's offense looks very good and has averaged 7.3 yards per play in two games, including 6.7 yppl against a good Clemson stop unit. Miami's defense allowed 404 yards at 5.7 yppl to a Florida State attack that isn't much better than average. My ratings favor Miami by just 1 point and Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson's teams are 34-13 ATS away from home in his career (4-2 with G Tech) while Randy Shannon is only 1-7 ATS as a home favorite of more than 3 points. I'll lean with the Yellow Jackets plus the points in this game
