Georgia Tech vs. Syracuse Key Players to Watch

Georgia Tech

Eric Singleton Jr.: Singleton Jr. entered the season as Georgia Tech's top receiver but has yet to have a breakout game, being held to under 50 yards in both of the Yellow Jackets' outings this year. However, he may have an advantage against Syracuse's outside cornerbacks, potentially setting the stage for this game to be his coming-out performance.

Syracuse Orange

Oronde Gadsden II: Though Gadsden is a tight end, he is the number one target for the Orange. In last week's opener, he recorded seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown. Georgia Tech's linebackers and safeties have struggled in coverage, so expect the Orange to exploit this by trying to isolate Gadsden near the end zone.

Georgia Tech vs. Syracuse Prediction and Pick

Both teams’ offenses have been solid so far this season. Syracuse amassed 480 yards and 38 points in their opener against Ohio University, while Georgia Tech has excelled on the ground, tallying 6 rushing touchdowns in their first two games.

Syracuse’s defense struggled to stop the run in their opener, allowing over 250 rushing yards. Now, they face an even more talented rushing attack in Georgia Tech, which could be a major concern for the Orange. Georgia Tech’s defense has performed well but is prone to giving up big plays—something Syracuse’s offense can exploit.

With both offenses having a clear advantage and the game being played indoors, weather won’t be a factor. Bettors should expect a high-scoring affair and take the over.

Pick: OVER 61 (-112)
