Game card: Georgia Tech

Opponent:  Georgia Tech
Mascot:  Yellow Jacket
Primary color(s):  Pee
Record:  0-0
Best player:  Marcus Georges-Hunt
Line:  Georgia Tech -3

Why Georgia will win:  Georgia Tech lost 45 ppg this offseason.  Meanwhile, Georgia returns almost everyone of consequence to a team that flourished on the road last season.  Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines form one of the best guard duos in the south, and Yante Maten looks like the real deal backing up Marcus Thornton who is the real deal in the post.

Why Georgia will lose:  The game is in Atlanta, and Kenny Gaines is ill.  Mark Fox has struggled to beat Georgia Tech, and there's no reason to think that will change tonight.  Tech has added a few nice pieces, including Georgia target Charles Mitchell, who will bully the Dawgs in the post.  Georgia's slow starts will continue to haunt them.

What I think will happen:  Georgia Tech will use one or two nice runs to grab a comfortable lead.  Georgia will be haunted by an unhealthy Gaines and will struggle to score.  76-64 Georgia Tech wins.

What I hope will happen:
