TaxSlayer Bowl
Georgia Tech (8-4, 4-4 ACC) vs. Kentucky (7-5, 4-4 SEC)
Dec. 31 – 11 a.m., ESPN
EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Fla.

Average Line: Georgia Tech, -3.5

The Kentucky Wildcats and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be playing in a game between two programs that live off of running the football. Georgia Tech has the best rushing offense in the ACC, whereas Kentucky has the third best rushing attack in the SEC.

Whoever can stay on the field will win this game on December 31st.

Both defenses aren’t going to be the best you have ever seen, but as we saw against Louisville, the Cats can be very opportunistic.

However, I think the experienced coaching of Georgia Tech will be the biggest difference. Look for the Yellow Jackets to gain some big yards on the ground in their win over Kentucky.
