What to Know

The Pittsburgh Panthers are 4-1 against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets since October of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Thursday. Pitt and Georgia Tech will face off in an ACC battle at 7 p.m. ET at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The afternoon started off rough for the Panthers two weeks ago, and it ended that way, too. They were completely outmatched by the Clemson Tigers on the road and fell 52-17. Pitt was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 38-10. QB Kenny Pickett had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: despite two touchdowns, he threw four interceptions with only 5.36 yards per passing attempt.

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech came up short against the NC State Wolfpack last week, falling 23-13. QB Jeff Sims put forth a good effort for the losing side as he accumulated 151 passing yards in addition to rushing for one TD and 93 yards.

Pitt is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3-1 against the spread when favored.

The Panthers are now 5-5 while the Yellow Jackets sit at 3-6. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Pitt enters the matchup with 43 sacks, which is the best in the nation. Less enviably, Georgia Tech is stumbling into the game with the 13th most touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up 40 on the season.
