Stat #5: Georgia Tech is 6-0-0 against the spread in 2017

The Yellow Jackets are currently 14.5 point underdogs for Saturday primetime matchup. While that is tied for the biggest spread the Jackets have been a part of this season, the Jackets are still 6-0-0 against the spread so far in 2017. Their largest cover as an underdog so far in 2017 has been 6.5 points, which they did against Miami. Their largest cover as a favorite this season was 14.5 against Jacksonville State.

Next: Jackets open as 16-pt underdogs

The Jackets 6-0-0 record against the spread this year is the best in the nation and is the only undefeated record against the spread left. With that, the Jackets when it comes to betting could be a good bet this weekend to cover as they’ve covered in 76.5% of their games since last season with a 13-4-1 record against the spread.

Their cover percentage of 76.5% over the last season and a half is the third best in the country only behind Penn State (79.0%) and Fresno State (76.5%). In comparison, Clemson is 12-10 against the spread over their last 22 games, covering just 54.5% of their games.
