Duke vs Georgia Tech Stats

Duke Blue Devils

The Duke Blue Devils are preparing to face off against Georgia Tech after their impressive comeback win against North Carolina last week, bringing their record to 5-0 for the season. Despite a slow start on offense, the Blue Devils were able to secure the win with a strong defensive performance in the second half. Quarterback Maalik Murphy and running back Star Thomas played key roles in last week's victory, with wide receiver Jordan Moore unfortunately sidelined due to injury for the upcoming game. Duke's defense has been a significant factor in their success this season, as they currently rank 30th in the league in points allowed. With a power ranking of 55, Duke is ranked 66 in offense and #28 in defense, boasting an average of 30.75 points scored per game and allowing only 15.25 points against them. The Blue Devils will be looking to continue their winning streak and improve their conference record as they take on Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Analysis

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are returning home after a recent loss to the Louisville Cardinals and are currently facing a challenging season schedule with multiple ranked opponents. Despite struggling on the road, they have shown strength in passing but have struggled defensively against opponent's passing games. Looking to bounce back, Georgia Tech will need to focus on slowing down the Blue Devils' pass game. Quarterback Haynes King had a standout performance last week, leading the team in both passing and rushing yards. Malik Rutherford also stood out with strong receiving stats. With a power ranking of 47 and rankings of 45th in offense and 52nd in defense, the Yellow Jackets will strive to improve their record and performance in their upcoming game against Duke, who has had recent success against Georgia Tech in their matchups.

Duke Blue Devils Expected to Put Up Strong Fight Against Georgia Tech Despite Away Game Advantage

The Duke Blue Devils have a favorable recent record of 8-2 in their last ten games against Georgia Tech, consistently covering a +9.5 spread. Despite Georgia Tech holding the advantage of playing at home, Duke is expected to put up a strong fight in the upcoming game. Duke's defense has demonstrated excellence this season, currently ranked 30th in the league. Additionally, Duke ranks 23rd in passing yards allowed and 14th in opponent third down conversion percentage. These stats indicate that the Yellow Jackets may struggle to score, resulting in a closely contested, low-scoring matchup. Therefore, I recommend taking Duke at +9.5 for this game.
