Wake Forest vs Georgia Tech Prediction, Odds and Projected Score for Nov. 21, 2026

Game time: November 21, 2026 at 12:00 AM ET

Venue: Bobby Dodd Stadium — Atlanta, GA

Article updated Nov 15, 1:21 AM EST

By SportsJaw Editorial Team

Wake Forest will beat Georgia Tech 34-20 in our forecast, with its rushing production and complementary passing game against SMU providing the strongest reason to favor the Demon Deacons. Georgia Tech’s defensive performance at Clemson makes the 17.5-point spread less inviting. Neither that spread nor the 57.5 total offers a sufficiently convincing betting advantage, so the official recommendation is Pass.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets prediction and best bet

Wake Forest is the pick to win, with medium confidence. Its 49-7 victory at SMU on Nov. 14 combined scoring on the ground, production through the air and defensive takeaways. That combination gives the Demon Deacons a persuasive winning case, although repeating a 42-point margin is a different proposition.

The official betting recommendation is Pass. Georgia Tech’s 20-6 win at Clemson supplies a meaningful counterargument to laying Wake Forest -17.5 (-120). Taking Georgia Tech +17.5 (+100) is tempting, but one strong performance after four consecutive losses is a fragile foundation for a wager, particularly with its recent injury absences.

Odds, game time and how to watch

Game: Wake Forest visits Georgia Tech on Nov. 21, 2026, in an ACC college football matchup.

Venue: Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field. Georgia Tech’s official announcement identifies the game as Senior Day, and its Clemson recap confirms this is the home finale.

Scheduling update: Georgia Tech’s Nov. 9 announcement put kickoff and television arrangements on a six-day hold pending the Nov. 14 results.

SportsJaw odds: Wake Forest Demon Deacons -19.5 (-170); Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +19.5 (+117). Moneyline: Wake Forest Demon Deacons -1,350; Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +770. Total: Over 56.5 (-110); Under 56.5 (-110).

SportsJaw total: Over 57.5 (-110); Under 57.5 (-110).

Records and recent results: Wake Forest reached 9-1 overall and 6-1 in ACC play with its SMU win. Georgia Tech ended a four-game overall losing streak at Clemson.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons outlook

Wake Forest’s Nov. 14 recap details an offense with several productive contributors. Quarterback Gio Lopez completed 14 passes for 201 yards and one touchdown, added 34 rushing yards and accounted for three total touchdowns. Those contributions give the forecast more substance than the final margin alone.

Ty Clark III rushed for 77 yards and scored his team-leading ninth rushing touchdown of the season. Carlos Hernandez caught six passes for 94 yards and a touchdown, taking his season receiving yardage beyond 1,000. Wake Forest matched its season high with six rushing touchdowns.

The defense also contributed directly to the lopsided result, forcing a season-high three turnovers and holding SMU to 275 total yards. The takeaway total deserves some restraint in the projection: another three-turnover performance would help Wake Forest separate, but it should not be assumed.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets outlook

Georgia Tech’s official Clemson recap describes a win built around rushing production and defensive disruption. The Yellow Jackets gained 407 yards to Clemson’s 228 and finished with a 269-86 rushing advantage. Justice Haynes supplied 116 rushing yards, his third 100-yard game of the season.

Two quarterbacks contributed in different ways. Alberto Mendoza threw for 138 yards, while Grady Adamson rushed 19 times for a career-high 87 yards. That distribution makes the quarterback running game a relevant part of Wake Forest’s preparation, alongside containing Haynes.

Georgia Tech kept Clemson out of the end zone while recording four sacks, six tackles for loss and five pass breakups. However, the team reported 20 players unavailable because of injuries for that game. That figure describes the Clemson absences, not a confirmed availability list for Wake Forest.

Key matchup factors

The central question is whether Georgia Tech can disrupt Wake Forest’s rushing offense without allowing its passing contributors to take over. Wake Forest’s latest performance supports a forecast with multiple scoring routes; Georgia Tech’s latest defensive effort makes uninterrupted success less certain.

Georgia Tech’s own rushing production creates another route to a competitive game. Sustained drives could keep Wake Forest’s offense off the field, although rushing yardage alone says nothing definitive about next week’s possession count or pace.

Both teams arrive after convincing wins against different opponents. Those results are useful evidence of what each team can do, but they are not a direct comparison of how the teams will perform against one another.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets spread prediction

Spread recommendation: Pass on Wake Forest -17.5 (-120) and Georgia Tech +17.5 (+100). The projected 14-point margin favors Georgia Tech against the number, but that small cushion is not enough to turn the forecast into an official bet.

Wake Forest’s scoring upside makes the underdog vulnerable if Georgia Tech falls behind early. Conversely, Georgia Tech’s defensive showing at Clemson makes laying more than 17 points uncomfortable. Neither side earns a sufficiently strong endorsement at the supplied price.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets total prediction

Total recommendation: Pass on Over 57.5 (-110) and Under 57.5 (-110). The projected 54 points sit below the line, giving the forecast an Under direction without making it an actionable recommendation.

Wake Forest’s recent offensive output supplies the clearest Over argument. Both teams’ latest defensive results offer an Under argument. These isolated performances leave too much room for a different scoring pattern, especially if turnovers create short fields.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Projected Score & Betting Picks

Game forecast: Wake Forest 34, Georgia Tech 20. Wake Forest’s productive rushing attack, passing contributors and defensive performance at SMU support the selection. Georgia Tech’s ability to generate pressure and run successfully at Clemson is the strongest counterargument.

Confidence is medium in the winner forecast. The projected margin and total are editorial estimates, with less conviction than the straight-up selection. The single official SportsJaw betting recommendation is Pass.
