There were not many people who had Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech on Nov. 21 circled as one of the biggest games on the college football<\/a> calendar.<\/p>\n

Sure, there were plenty of folks who had the Yellow Jackets tagged as a potential dark horse in the ACC, but they were not thought to be on the same level as Clemson and Miami.<\/p>\n

Pitt, meanwhile, was not on anybody\u2019s radar before the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Heck, nobody had the Panthers on their radar before Halloween.<\/p>\n

Yet, here we are.<\/p>\n

The winner of Saturday\u2019s battle between Georgia Tech (9-1, 6-1) and Pittsburgh (7-3, 5-1) will have a real shot at winning the ACC and going to the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

The loser will be eliminated from both fields.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh vs. Georgia Tech odds, prediction<\/p>\n

Georgia Tech started the season on fire, winning eight in a row before falling to NC State on the road. It was an ugly loss, and the Yellow Jackets were not convincing against Boston College last week, but they\u2019re now one win away from a berth in the ACC Championship came.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s a bit unfair to pick apart Georgia Tech\u2019s performances in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

The Yellow Jackets did start 8-0, but nobody was expecting them to run the table without issue. There were going to be bumps for the Ramblin\u2019 Wreck.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh has also endured some hiccups, but the Panthers have timed those well.<\/p>\n

They came against non-conference opponents like West Virginia and Notre Dame, and their lone ACC defeat to Louisville won\u2019t sting them because the Cardinals are not in the mix for a spot in the title game.<\/p>\n

What really matters here, though, is Pitt\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n

The Panthers have played six ACC opponents, and only Louisville has a winning record in the conference. Wins over Florida State, NC State, Stanford, Boston College and Syracuse are not going to tip anybody over.<\/p>\n

Georgia Tech\u2019s path hasn\u2019t been much stiffer, but it does have wins over Colorado, Clemson and Duke in its pocket, which is more than Pitt can boast about.<\/p>\n

The Yellow Jackets should also benefit from having a decided experience edge, especially at quarterback with Haynes King.<\/p>\n

Betting on College Football? <\/p>\n

Pitt\u2019s Mason Heintschel has been a revelation in his first year, but he didn\u2019t have anything going for him against Notre Dame and that won\u2019t cut it against Georgia Tech \u2014 not because the Yellow Jackets boast an elite defense, but because the offense can score at will when it\u2019s clicking.<\/p>\n

The odds here suggest these two teams are on equal footing and would be a pick\u2019em on a neutral field. Not in my eyes.<\/p>\n

The Play: Georgia Tech -2.5 (-115, bet365<\/a>)<\/p>\n
