Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Stanford Cardinal (Saturday – 10:30pm ET)
Going to a late night ACC game on the west coast, expecting a grinder from both sides. After an exciting 37-27 win over Hawaii back in Week 0, the Stanford offense has been nonexistent. Battling multiple injuries on offense, the Cardinal managed just six points at home against Miami the following week. Even with a bye to work with, Stanford went east last week and scored just seven points against Duke.
Stanford returns home on Saturday night to host a Georgia Tech team that’s been a letdown so far. The Yellow Jackets finally got a win last week, but against Mercer. Prior to that, they were 0-2 and had not shown much life. They scored 24 points at home against Tennessee, but in a game that was well out of reach. The season opener was a complete debacle, managing just 13 points at home against a poor Colorado defense.
Both teams are also dealing with injuries on offense. Tech lost three offensive lineman against Tennessee, two of which sat out last week. Stanford is still recovering from all the injuries in Week 0, and has been missing multiple offensive lineman as well, some of which are already confirmed to be out on Saturday. A pair of receivers for the Cardinal are also dinged up, and are considered questionable for Saturday.
Georgia Tech goes on the road for the first time this season for a 10:30pm ET kick across the country. Neither offensive line will be intact, and neither offense has shown much against any quality competition. I’m expecting an ugly one here, backing under 48.5 on the total.
CFB Pick: UNDER 48.5 (-115)
