Miami football at Georgia Tech week 11 best bets

The Miami football team is a 1.5-point underdog at Georgia Tech on Saturday with the total set at 44.5 points by Fan Duel. All of the Fan Duel bets are based on either the point spread or the total. Georgia Tech and Miami entered the game on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta with 4-5 records.

It’s difficult to trust Miami with the point spread. The Hurricanes are 1-8 against the spread this season. The lone cover for Miami was in the season-opening 70-13 win over Bethune-Cookman in the season opener as a 49.5-point favorite. This is the third game this season Miami is an underdog.

Miami was a 6.5-point underdog against Texas A&M in September and against Florida State last week. After not covering the spread in its first three games of the 2022 season, Georgia Tech has covered in four of its last six. Georgia Tech has played its last five games under interim head coach Brent Key.

Georgia Tech and Miami are likely to start backup quarterbacks. Zach Pyron has received most of the snaps at QB in the last two games for Georgia Tech. Starting QB Jeff Sims has missed the last two Georgia Tech games. Tyler Van Dyke seems unlikely to play for Miami on Saturday. Jacurri Brown looks likely to be the starter.

The best bet for the Miami at Georgia Tech game is to place money on the total going under 44.5. Georgia Tech and Miami both struggle offensively. Add that both teams are expected to start backup QBs and points should be at a premium on Saturday in Atlanta. There are few other options to gamble on.

One of the other interesting bets is will the game go to overtime. In a low-scoring game that is far more likely. Fan Duel has the odds at +1380 for the game going to overtime and -3000 that there will be a winner determined in regulation. The other interesting option is to bet if the teams will score an even or odd number of points.
