Thoughts:

Don’t think Georgia Tech Defensive Coordinator Jon Tenuta was up late trying to figure out the Virginia Tech offense. This might be a yawner even with Virginia Tech playing its second Thursday game in two weeks. Josh and I are going to the Music City Bowl in December in Nashville, a second tier bowl matching ACC and SEC teams. Josh bought ten upper level tickets for the purpose of scalping but those tickets will only have value if the teams selected to go have well traveling fanbases like Virginia Tech’s and not as much Georgia Tech’s. Therefore a Georgia Tech win tonight, makes the Rambling Wreck an easy take for the Chick Fil-A Bowl in Atlanta and may slip the Hokies and their rabid fanbase to Nashville to hopefully play Tennessee and line Josh’s pockets. Go Jackets!

Suggestion:

Doesn’t look like the Hokies will be able to do anything offensively against Georgia Tech in Atlanta, give the points and the under looks safe here, even as low as it is. But get ready for the understatement of the year…I’ve been wrong before.
