NC State goes on the road for each of its last two games, starting with a Thursday night primetime matchup at Georgia Tech. The 2024 season is nearly over, thankfully. Although Georgia Tech at 6-4 (4-3) does not have a demonstrably better record than NC State, who is at 5-5 (2-4), the Yellow Jackets have LOOKED much better throughout the season. This culminated with their upset win over the league's best team Miami two weeks ago. Both GT and NC State are now coming off of bye weeks, but one would expect the Jackets to be better prepared given their overall appearance over the season.
As we do every week, our crew put their best guesses to paper to say how they think the game will turn out:
Name | Prediction | Comments |
ESPN Predicto-Bot | 23.5% - 76.5% (L) | Preseason actually also had this as a loss, though more of a toss-up at 47.5%-52.5% in GT's favor |
Alec Lower | 20-42 (L) | *Screaming internally* |
Essad Malik | 27-34 (L) | CJ Bailey will lead some impressive drives to put points on the board, but the defense repeats the similar story and won't be able to get consistent stops to prevent GT from making the go-ahead score late. |
Trey Lower | 31-28 (W) | Post-Bye Week Dave Doeren will strike again. Georgia Tech will run the ball at will early but State will pleasantly adjust and get a late stop |
Jackson Williford | 20 -34 (L) | Georgia Tech majors in counter. N.C. State majors at not stopping counter. Pretty simple equation for me here. |
