00:00break down what I think could be the signature game of the season if Georgia Tech can pull this

00:05off Paul they're two and a half point favorites they're supposed to win the total is 61 and a half

00:10but if they don't Paul and if Georgia Tech does not win we are no closer to figuring out this ACC

00:17than we were at the beginning of the season there's just been a flat out mess yeah it is kind

00:23of a jumbled mess for sure Craig and this would this would give some clarity of clarity if Georgia

00:27Tech indeed wins and they're a two and a half point favorite there in Atlanta this Saturday over

00:32Pittsburgh you know both these teams coming off subpar performances this past weekend Georgia Tech

00:38trails by 11 at Boston College entering the fourth quarter they rally for a 36-34 victory over the

00:48Eagles there in Chestnut Hill and then Pitt they fell behind early to Notre Dame never really

00:53challenged the Irish lose to Notre Dame 37-15 at home both these teams though still in the thick of

01:01the ACC race Georgia Tech and Virginia leading the ACC at six and one Pitt and SMU just a half game back

01:09at five and one so a lot of teams still in contention there I'll look at this game Craig and Georgia Tech

01:16favored by two and a half on its home field what that number infers in my opinion is that Pitt would

01:24be a one and a half point favorite on a neutral field and I don't see that I think Georgia Tech

01:29is the better team I think it's close but I just really like that their quarterback six-year senior

01:38Haynes King their head coach Brent Key I mean you got kind of a daily double there King a throwback tough

01:45guy leads the yellow jackets in both passing 2259 yards rushing 807 yards so he's a dual threat guy

01:55team really feeds off of him and then Brent Key you know he was first named interim coach there in the

02:00middle of 2022 eventually named permanent coach and in games he's been a head coach he's 26 and 18

02:07against the spread a pretty nifty 59 winning percentage against the spread so his teams have

02:14outperformed market expectations if you will I'm going to go with the team here in Georgia Tech

02:20that has a six-year senior quarterback playing at home against the Pitt team that's playing a true

02:26freshman quarterback albeit a good one playing on the road I like Georgia Tech minus two and a half

02:32over Pitt Saturday
