    However, the programs’ against-the-spread trends point the same way: Georgia Tech ATS.

    • The Yellow Jackets are 5-0-1 ATS in their previous six home bouts.

    Miami’s Winning Probability

    The ‘Canes are 9-0 and the favorite in the ACC. With win probabilities over 79% in each of their final three games, they should have no issue walking into a top-four seed in the expanded College Football Playoff.

    • at Georgia Tech: 79.6%
    • vs. Wake Forest: 94.8%
    • at Syracuse: 83.0%

    Georgia Tech’s Winning Probability

    After Geoff Collins drove the program into the ground with three straight three-win campaigns, Brent Key has returned the Yellow Jackets to respectability. Last year, they pulled off six regular-season wins and claimed their first bowl victory since 2016. Now, at 5-4, they’re just one win away from bowling once more.

    However, Georgia Tech’s next win won’t come easily, with Miami, NC State, and Georgia comprising its final three opponents.

    • vs. Miami: 20.4%
    • vs. NC State: 63.1%
    • at Georgia: 6.9%

    Prediction for Miami (FL) vs. Georgia Tech

    The Hurricanes may still be unbeaten, but their path through the ACC has been anything but smooth. Nail-biters against Virginia Tech (38-34), Cal (39-38), Louisville (52-45), and Duke (53-31) show they’ve been tested—and Georgia Tech might do the same, with one major question mark.

    Starting QB Haynes King has missed the last two games—both losses to Notre Dame and Virginia Tech—due to a right shoulder injury. After a bye week, head coach Brent Key is “very hopeful” King will return to lead the Yellow Jackets in Week 10.

    King’s presence has been a game-changer. With him under center, Georgia Tech has scored 24+ points in all but one game (19). Without him? Just 13 and 6 points in back-to-back losses.

    Even if King is back, this Miami defense poses a tough challenge. The Hurricanes are tied for 11th in sacks per game (3.00) and rank eighth in run defense (95.2 YPG), forcing opponents to take to the air against them. The question is: Can King’s shoulder hold up against that relentless pressure?

    Don’t count on it. Miami wins and covers, with the total staying under—especially if Georgia Tech has to rely on Zach Pyron or Aaron Philo at QB.

    Prediction: Miami 38, Georgia Tech 16
