Ga Tech 30 AF 27

Over 56

AIR FORCE   - 2.5

Air Force should win this game easily.  Tech benefits from schools that don't know how to defend the triple option, AF will not have the problem.  GT lost every game they played against a decent team, plus one against Kansas.  AF played better teams this year, and has better discipline.  You know those guys will show up.  Nesbitt is a better QB, but that only matters slightly relative to execution of the run, neither QB can pass effectively.

AF wins this one by 7+        4X play

not a fan of ur logic in this one. first of all, everyone hung around with OU in the beginning of the year. secondly, air force players are the same age as ga tech players. they might be a bit more mature, but since when does football require mature players? just look at the nfl. third, the houston game last year has absolutely nothing to do with this years game. even if it did, houston was declining toward the end of the year. their offense slowed, and their defense was horrific. all in all, this is an extremely difficult game to pick. i'm slightly leaning towards ga tech, but will not be putting money on this one.

I can agree with most of this, but don't u think ga. tech plays against themselves everyday as well...seems both teams will know what to expect from the other...now who is better and more physical at the line and who can fill the gaps on the lead read might be the better choice...air force might be more disciplined, but ga. tech probably a bit more physical, which could make a difference.  also think nesbitt would be a huge lift for them...like the ramblin wreck...small...
