.
There's no good value on the moneyline. The Fighting Irish are too sizable of a favorite to take here, and they are playing too well to assume the Yellow Jackets can pull off the upset. Look to the spread for value.
Against the spread
BET GEORGIA TECH +14 (-115).
The Yellow Jackets have exceeded expectations, both throughout the season, and more specifically at home. They are undefeated at home and have yet to not cover a spread. Georgia Tech has not been a home underdog this season and is 1-1 ATS as an underdog overall. It has won 2 straight ACC games and put up 65 points in those.
Notre Dame has won consistently, but it hasn't played on the road since Week 3. It is 1-2 ATS in games where it has closed as a double-digit favorite as well. Considering those trends, take GEORGIA TECH +14 (-115).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 49.5 (-110).
The Notre Dame defense is a strong unit, having allowed single digits in 3 of its last 4 games. The Fighting Irish have gone Under in 2 of 3 games they were double-digit favorites and have given up just 26 points in those games combined.
Georgia Tech has had a similar story. It has allowed 21 or fewer in 4 of 7 games and is 2-5 O/U on the season. The Yellow Jackets are 0-2 O/U as an underdog and 1-2 O/U at home. With that in mind, play UNDER 49.5 (-110).
