Under 51 Total Points (-110)
Odds available at Bovada at time of publishing
For this game to hit under 51 total points, both teams need to struggle to score. Georgia Tech's defense has been solid, which could keep Colorado from putting up big numbers. On the flip side, Colorado's offense hasn't been lighting it up lately, so they might not be able to take advantage of any gaps. The matchup looks pretty close, with our model expecting around 49 points in total. That suggests a low-scoring game is likely, but the biggest risk is that both teams have the potential to surprise and score more than expected. Overall, taking the under seems like a good move based on how these teams have performed recently. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
