It didn’t take long for a double-digit underdog to upset the college football applecart.
In the very first game of the 2024 season, Georgia Tech beat Florida State in Dublin, starting its new campaign off with the bang.
But that is now in the rearview as Georgia Tech readies itself for Saturday’s matchup with Georgia State.
Interestingly, there are two likely reactions to the Yellow Jackets’ shocking win over the Seminoles as bettors look ahead to Georgia State vs. Georgia Tech predictions for today:
- Georgia Tech’s win is a sign of what’s to come, so continue to bet on the Yellow Jackets
- Georgia Tech’s win was a fluke and now is the perfect time to fade the Yellow Jackets
Action Network’s college football public betting data is reporting that 55% of spread tickets have come in on Georgia State for Saturday’s game thus far, suggesting relatively balanced action.
However, Action PRO’s real-time money percentages tell a much more one-sided betting story.
Here’s what I mean.
Big Bettors Aligned on Georgia State vs. Georgia State Prediction
*Odds as of Tuesday morning
Georgia Tech is between a 21.5- and 22-point favorite against Georgia State based on the latest college football odds.
And as I mentioned above, bettors are essentially split on this matchup.
But Action PRO’s money percentages offer a key detail currently being overlooked: 92% of the early money wagered on the spread is behind the Yellow Jackets as well.
A difference in money and tickets this large often signals where the biggest bets are falling and line movement in this game appears to concur.
The Jackets initially hit the market at -20.5, but steady Georgia Tech money has left oddsmakers no choice but to react by pushing this spread out to between -21.5 and -22.
PRO Pick: Georgia Tech -21.5 (-110) — BetMGM
