Georgia Tech at Miami: Key Players to Watch
The most notable player to watch on Saturday will be Miami safety Kamren Kinchens. Kinchens missed the last two games. In the game versus Georgia Tech last season, Kinchens had three interceptions. That included a 99-yard touchdown return. Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King will have to be aware of Kinchens.
When Miami is on offense, the running backs will be the players to watch on Saturday. Georgia Tech has the worst run defense in the ACC. Miami leads the ACC in rushing offense. Led by Henry Parrish and behind one of the best offensive lines nationally, Miami should be able to easily run the football versus Georgia Tech.
What to watch for Georgia Tech at Miami
As stated above the (in)ability of the Georgia Tech defense to stop Miami on the ground could decide the outcome of the game. If Georgia Tech puts eight men in the box, watch for Tyler Van Dyke and the Miami wide receivers to beat Georgia Tech deep at least a few times on Saturday night.
Georgia Tech at Miami Prediction and Pick
Miami should win the game, but a $2.14 return on a $2 bet makes the Hurricanes difficult to bet on the moneyline. The 20.5-point spread for an ACC game is big. Georgia Tech should have enough offense behind King to cover the point spread. With both teams having explosive offense, the 57.5-point total should go over.
