NC State has bowl eligibility on the line, but I simply don't believe the Wolfpack will have an answer for Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King. The Jackets have had two weeks to prepare for this game and are coming off one of the biggest wins in program history. I'm laying the points and expect a double-digit win for Georgia Tech.

Quarterback Haynes King is fully healthy (or at least as close to fully healthy as a player can be at this point in the season) for Georgia Tech, and the Jackets have had two weeks to prepare for this game. I have the Jackets winning big on Thursday night at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

NC State is 5-5 but only 2-8 against the spread and they face Georgia Tech who is 6-4 and come in on a roll after beating Miami two weeks ago. They beat Duke and North Carolina then lost a Notre Dame and Virginia Tech before the Miami win but the two losses did not have Haynes King starting at quarterback. King was back for the big win against Miami, 28-23. King is a key to this whole offense, he has nine touchdown passes to one interception but it's his running that separates him with 5.4 yards per carry and seven touchdowns on the season. The Georgia Tech defense that allows only 334 yards per game will have a say in covering the spread. Georgia Tech.
