Key Factors to Consider
- Georgia Tech is unbeaten (4-0), coming off a strong 45-24 win over Temple, demonstrating offensive firepower. Wake Forest is 2-1, having lost their last game 34-24 to North Carolina State and averaging 25.3 PPG (ranked 89th nationally). Defensively, Wake Forest allows 17.7 PPG and limits opponents to 317 yards per game. Georgia Tech's defense is stout, especially against the run with 155.5 rushing yards allowed per game.
- Recent direct matchup data is limited, but the betting market and expert predictions imply a trend favoring Georgia Tech as dominant. Wake Forest has covered less often recently, and totals have generally stayed under, signaling a likely defensive struggle.
- No significant injury information was reported in the sources close to game day, suggesting both squads will likely field their top players.
- Home field advantage belongs to Wake Forest, but Georgia Techโs recent form and experience on the road mitigate this factor. Weather is warm and somewhat rainy, which may slightly favor a ground-heavy, conservative approach.
- Georgia Tech aims to maintain a perfect start and build playoff resume, making them highly motivated. Wake Forest looks to rebound from a recent loss and prove competitiveness against a top conference opponent, adding emotional drive.
