Georgia Tech vs UCF Preview & Picks

Georgia Tech are tipped to cover as an underdog in the Gasparilla Bowl.

The Yellow Jackets have been a reliable pick with the points, and with two good run games on show we could see the clock get chewed up in a tight game.

  • Georgia Tech are 6-2-0 ATS as a betting underdog
  • Georgia Tech are 5-2-0 ATS in their last 7 overall
  • UCF are 0-5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a betting favorite
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of UCF’s last 6 games

Head To Head

  • Georgia Tech lead the all-time series 3-2
  • UCF won 27-10 when the two teams last met in September 2022

Georgia Tech Form

Georgia Tech come into this Bowl Game having lost two of their last three games to finish 6-6.

The Yellow Jackets struggled for consistency all season long, registering back-to-back victories just once.

They did record some notable wins against ranked teams in the ACC, starting with a dramatic 23-20 upset of #17 Miami FL in early October.

Georgia then matched that effort later that month as they won a high-scoring shootout with #17 North Carolina, 46-42.

The Yellow Jackets following that up with a 45-17 victory at Virginia, but they managed just one more win the rest of the way.

UCF Form

UCF enter the Gasparilla Bowl having won three of the final four regular season games to finish 6-6.

The Knights began the season with three straight victories, but their form nose-dived once the Big 12 schedule got underway.

They suffered five consecutive defeats, although they did run #6 Oklahoma close in a 31-29 defeat at home.

UCF finally ended their losing ways at the start of November, winning 28-26 at Cincinnati, and they backed that up a week later by stunning #15 Oklahoma State, 45-3.

The Knights missed out on a third straight win as they lost 24-23 at Texas Tech, but they did rebound in their last regular season game to beat Houston 27-13.
