Prediction
Both Georgia Tech and Georgia State did not play well in 2023, but the Yellow Jackets are hoping to start the 2024-25 NCAAF season strong. Offensively, the Yellow Jackets were ranked 43rd, averaging 31.1 points every game. However, they allowed more points, ranking 97th in terms of the rankings. The team seemed to struggle significantly in terms of defense.
On the other hand, Georgia State was ranked worse at 66th in terms of offense. The Panthers were not effective in passing, making it difficult for them to win games. The Georgia State Panthers should improve both their offense and defense if they are likely to change the Yellow Jackets.
Final Pick
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets(-20.5), -115
