#670 ASA PLAY ON 8* Georgia Tech +4.5 over Virginia, Wednesday at 7 PM ET - As we stated a few weeks ago when we took Ga Tech @ Duke which turned into a half point loss for us, we think the Jackets are undervalued. They were +6.5 in that game vs the Devils and lost by 7 in a game that was tied with just over 1:00 minute remaining. The Yellow Jackets have been great at home with a perfect ACC record beating the likes of Florida State, UNC, and Clemson. The faced off against this Virginia team in late January on the road and nearly pulled off the upset losing 64-62. In that game GT led by 9 in the 2nd half and UVA’s largest lead of the game was just 4 points. IN that game the Cavs shot 48% from the field at home and still barely hung on to win. UVA is 4-1 on the road in ACC play however they’ve played a very weak conference road slate. Their wins have come vs Notre Dame, Boston College, NC State, and Clemson. The best team they’ve played on the road was Va Tech, a game they lost by 14 on January 30th. While we think UVA is solid, they’ve played the EASIEST schedule thus far in the ACC while Georgia Tech has played the most DIFFICULT schedule in conference play. While the Cavs defense is still very solid, they are not the same shut down unit they’ve been over the last few years. They allow over 41% from the field which ranks them 90th nationally. They’ve allowed over 1.00 PPP in half of their ACC games including their first match up with Ga Tech. We like the Jackets to pull the upset here and we’ll take the points as a nice cushion.
