Georgia Tech is entering this game with a 3-0 record overall and they have a 1-0 record in their conference games too. They are 2-0 in their home games, 1-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against Clemson 24-21. Haynes King was the starting QB and he completed 20/28 passes for 211 passing yards, 0 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Haynes King led the team in rushing yards with 103 and 1 TD. Eric Rivers led the receivers with 72 receiving yards on 3 receptions.

Omar Daniels came away with the only interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have Georgia Tech listed as a 23.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia Tech has looked great in their games this season with their 3-0 record overall and their 1-0 conference record which has them right near the top of the ACC. They pulled off a big statement win in their last one, beating Clemson at home 24-21, and now they have a chance to really do something in the ACC this season. Their defense was able to shut down that Clemson offense that has a ton of talent in it, and this Georgia Tech offense has shown in 2 different games now that they can make the plays needed to win the game late. Meanwhile, Temple has looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall, but their wins didn't come against any good teams. Now they are off their first loss of the season in their last one and they received a rude awakening with a 42-3 loss at home to Oklahoma. Their offense couldn't do anything against that defense all game and even though GA Tech doesn't have a defense that is that good, they still have a lot more talent that will make it really hard for this offense to move the ball. Their defense wasn't stopping Oklahoma much either and this GA Tech will wear down Temple with long drives throughout the game, and GA Tech will eventually pull away in this game with no way back for their opponent. The best way to place a bet here is on Georgia Tech to cover the spread in this game.
