For a number of different reasons I feel we're getting excellent value on the home-side: Last week Georgia Tech (2-0, 1-0) moved up one spot in the poll with last Thursday’s 30-27 win over Clemson of the Atlantic Division, and Miami (1-0, 1-0) jumped into the Top 25 following its 38-34 victory over then-No. 18 Florida State on Sept. 7. Although they did pull out the victory last week, Georgia Tech blew a 24-point lead against the Tigers before Scott Blair’s 36-yard field goal with 57 seconds remaining sealed the victory and I expect a similar lapse of concentration in this game and look for the Hurricanes to take advantage. This is a spot that the Yellow Jackets have struggled in over the past three seasons, going a disappointing 2-5 ATS after two or more consecutive straight-up wins and 6-8 ATS when playing with six days or less rest. Miami is now in the same position it was entering last season’s game against Georgia Tech; the Hurricanes jumped into the poll immediately before playing the Yellow Jackets and trailed by as much as 31 in their 41-23 loss in Atlanta. The defeat kept the Hurricanes out of the ACC championship game and I expect them to play with added motivation in this one because of that loss. Dating back to last season Miami is 6-3 SU its last nine overall and 14-6 SU its last 20 at home and I look for it to once again play tough in front of the hometown crowd and to move to a perfect 2-0 ATS this season against conference opponents; play on the HURRICANES! *9*
