Georgia vs. Georgia Tech prediction: Who wins, and why?

In a rare occurrence, both Georgia and Georgia Tech enter their season finale with at least nine wins each for only the third time in 120 years. However, Georgia Tech, once a strong ACC contender, has seen its playoff hopes diminish after losing two of its last three games following an 8-0 start. Georgia is positioned to potentially qualify for the SEC Championship Game, needing a win and a loss from either Texas A&M or Alabama.

Georgia Tech's offense, led by quarterback Haynes King, boasts over 2,500 passing yards and nearly 900 rushing yards with 15 rushing touchdowns. Georgia's defense, allowing only about 17 points per game, will be tested by Tech’s offensive strategies, including quarterback runs and perimeter options.

The game will feature key matchups between Georgia Tech's horizontal offensive schemes and Georgia's defensive capabilities. Georgia's offense, with a talent advantage at receiver and tight end, could capitalize on Georgia Tech's defensive vulnerabilities, particularly if Tech's secondary struggles.
