Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Game Time and More
The Virginia Tech Hokies and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are set to square off in an ACC matchup at 12:30 p.m. ET Nov. 5 at Lane Stadium/Worsham Field. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W.’
Last Thursday, Virginia Tech and the NC State Wolfpack were almost perfectly matched up, but the Hokies suffered an agonizing 22-21 defeat. QB Grant Wells put forth a good effort for the losing side as he passed for one TD and 243 yards on 22 attempts in addition to punching in two rushing touchdowns. Near the top of the highlight reel was Wells’ 85-yard TD bomb to WR Kaleb Smith in the third quarter. Wells’ sharp performance set his single-game rushing touchdown high for the season.
Meanwhile, the oddsmakers predicted a rough game for Georgia Tech last week, and boy were they were right. They ended up on the wrong side of a painful 41-16 walloping at the Florida State Seminoles’ hands. The Yellow Jackets were in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 24-3. No one had a standout game offensively for Georgia Tech, but they got two touchdowns from QB Zach Pyron.
Virginia Tech is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. They hadn’t treated bettors all too well in the past (they are 2-5), but they might be worth taking a chance on now after beating the spread two games in a row.
Virginia Tech beat Georgia Tech 26-17 when the two teams previously met in October of last year. Will the Hokies repeat their success, or do the Yellow Jackets have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.

Betting Line:
Over/Under-49, Spread- Georgia Tech +1 (courtesy of covers.com)
For the over/under, I feel that 49 is too low for this matchup, and I would go over just on the fact that both teams can put up big points. While both teams have solid defenses, especially Virginia Tech, they will score over 49 points. Virginia Tech will win by more than one, so take them all the way.

BCS/Top 25 Implications:
With both teams ranked in the BCS top 25, they implications of this game a very obvious. If Virginia Tech knocks the Yellow Jackets off, they assert their dominance and can win out with their easy schedule. If Georgia Tech can shock the Hokies with a beat down, they would put their bid in as a serious BCS contender.
Key Matchup:
The key matchup will be the sixth ranked Virginia Tech Hokies defense that is giving up just 15.4 points per game this season, and the nation’s second best statistical run game made up of QB Tevin Washington and RB David Sims.
If Virginia Tech can force the Yellow Jackets to beat them through the air, they will have the upper hand and their offense will take the ball and run with it.
