SP+ Predicts Final Score For Georgia Tech vs Virginia Tech Matchup In Week 7
Georgia Tech’s momentum from a hard-fought 2-3 home win over Duke last week carries into a tougher road test at Virginia Tech, where the Yellow Jackets enter as underdogs in both the sportsbooks and predictive models. The Yellow Jackets’ victory over Duke—secured by Trelain Maddox’s 1-yard touchdown run and a missed 47-yard field goal by Duke’s Gavin Strange—marked their first conference win of the season and shifted their narrative after a slow start.
Now, Georgia Tech faces a Virginia Tech team that has dropped two straight games, but ESPN’s SP+ projects a 33-22 upset for the Hokies, giving them a 75% chance to win. The Yellow Jackets, buoyed by late-game drives from quarterback Alberto Mendoza to receivers Jordan Allen and Dalen Penson, will need to sustain their improved play to avoid slipping back to a losing record in ACC play.
