Daily Sports Pick
September 15, 2009
Before we tackle NFL Week 2 betting, let’s not forget about the solid college pigskin this week. This Thursday night, the Miami Hurricanes host Georgia Tech in what could be another barn burner for the Hurricanes.
NCAA football betting: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets @ Miami Hurricanes
Georgia Tech’s near collapse against Clemson showed us the Yellow Jackets are unpredictable. With Miami, on the other hand, we know what we get. The Hurricanes can score — they dropped 38 points on Florida State and Jacory Harris threw for 386 yards — but they get scored on a ton too. FSU had 404 total yards against them. More importantly, Georgia Tech, who has beaten Miami four straight times, ran for 474 friggin’ yards the last time it faced Miami. Not exactly a recipe for Hurricanes success, is it?
Go with the minor road upset on the strength of Georgia Tech’s running game, which ranks fourth in the nation.
Pick: Georgia Tech +4.5
