Seemingly out of nowhere, The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have put together back-to-back solid efforts. However, they were fortunate enough to be catching both of those opponents in letdown spots, and we look for the better Maryland Terrapins to put the Jackets back in their place tonight.

First, Georgia Tech upset a Wake Forest team that was coming off of a big win vs. Duke, and then the Jackets covered the number vs. a Florida State team that was coming off of an emotional three-point loss to North Carolina.

Now make no mistake, the 1-6 start inside the ACC by the Yellow Jackets was no fluke, as they really are one of the worst teams in the conference. After all, this team had four losses in non-conference play despite having the weakest non-conference SOS of any ACC team, and they are a modest 8-5 straight up and a poor 3-7 against the spread here at home.

The 14-8 Terrapins are simply the better team here, and even their 0-4 SU road record is deceptive as they are 3-1 ATS in those games with the only non-cover coming against Duke, which is certainly forgivable. Maryland is also the considerably higher ranked team here on the Pomeroy Ratings, where they rank 69 compared to 96 for Georgia Tech.

We will take the better team getting points from a team that is overvalued due to two fortunate covers in this spot.
