Georgia Tech defeated Temple 45–24 to secure a comfortable win. Temple covered by 3.5; Game went Over by 16.5. The market closed at Georgia Tech -24.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Georgia Tech -21.1 - a gap of 3.5 points toward Temple, of which 2.5 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge.
Georgia Tech rushed for 307 yards on 30 carries, led by Jamal Haynes (107 yards) and Malachi Hosley (2 TDs). This ground game, ranked 21st nationally, will be a key factor against Wake Forest.
The Yellow Jackets gained only 9 yards in the second quarter and allowed Temple to cut the lead to 21-14. This inconsistency could be exploited by Wake Forest if not corrected.
A fumble early in the third quarter led to a Temple touchdown, highlighting ball security concerns. Georgia Tech must protect the ball to maintain momentum on the road.
Georgia Tech is 4-0 for the first time since 2014, a season they reached the ACC Championship Game. This confidence boost could help them handle the pressure of being ranked on the road.
After allowing 14 points in the second quarter and early third, the defense tightened up, holding Temple to 10 points in the final 25 minutes. This ability to adjust will be crucial at Wake Forest.
