1) The Yellow Jackets offense averages 35 or more points the rest of the season

Georgia Tech enters this weekend’s game against Duke averaging 40.1 points per game which doesn’t make this prediction sound all too bold. That being said, when looking at the Jackets remaining schedule, they’ll face three solid teams in Duke, Virginia Tech, Miami and then face the most hated, Georgia Bulldogs. All four of those teams have formidable defenses which will make it difficult for the Yellow Jackets offensively. So far out of those three, only one team is allowing more than 20-points per game, that being Virginia Tech.

That being said with games against North Carolina and Virginia left on the schedule, the Jackets will surely have the chance to score a ton of points. I’m not saying they’ll score 35+ points every game the rest of the season, but I think it all will average out at 35+ points by the end of the season. I wouldn’t be shocked if it ends up higher either. I think the Georgia Tech offense has finally turned the corner with TaQuon Marshall under center and I expect big things out of the offense going forward.

Chance of happening: 40% to 45%
