The pros at FiveStarPick.com are giving our members another against the spread winner tonight as we handicap Thursday Night’s ESPN College Football ACC matchup between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Miami Hurricanes.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Hurricanes as 5.5-point home favorites with a total of 54.

Last week Georgia Tech went up early on Clemson, 21-0, thanks to a couple special teams plays.  But the Tigers came all the way back to tie the game and even take the lead.  In the end however, QB Josh Nesbitt made a couple of timely throws to get The Yellow Jackets into field goal range and Tech won the game 30-27.  The ground game was a huge part of the win, rushing for over 300 yards against Clemson, but bettors laying 5.5 on the Yellow Jackets didn’t care much about the straight up win. 

For Georgia Tech to cover the spread tonight, head coach Paul Johnson will need to patch up some holes in his Georgia Tech defense.  Clemson redshirt freshman QB Kyle Parker threw for 261 yards and three (3) touchdowns last Thursday against GA Tech and you can be sure that Hurricanes quarterback Jacory Harris has been studying the film.

Harris, the sophomore signal caller making only his third career start, toppled the Florida State defense for 386 yards and two TDs.  Harris spread the ball around to eight (8) different receivers, but mostly to WRs Travis Benjamin and Leonard Hankerson.

Of course, Randy Shannon and the Miami defense certainly remembers the 2008 meeting between these two programs when the Yellow Jackets ran for 472 yards en route to a 41-23 victory.  The Georgia Tech defense must get effective pressure on Harris and the Hurricanes passing attack to escape South Florida with a win.
