Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The Yellow Jackets covered 8 of 10 road spreads in 2025-26 while winning one of those games; only three Division I teams covered more often away. At home they covered 5 of 19.

Losing on the road, covering anyway

Georgia Tech went 1-9 in true road games and beat the number in eight of them. Three Division I teams beat that road rate and three more matched its 80%. Two of the covers sat inside very large lines: a 6-point loss at Duke getting 27.5, a 17-point loss at Louisville getting 23.5.

The one road win paid most of the season’s money: 78-74 at NC State on 17 January at +1200, 12 units on a single ticket. That is why the 10 priced road games returned 3.0 units despite nine defeats.

Home, the other way

In Atlanta the Jackets went 10-9 but covered 5 of 19, 26.3%; 20 Division I teams covered less often at home. As home favorites they kept winning without clearing the number: 70-60 over SE Louisiana at -14.5, 68-66 over Georgia Southern at -10.5, 82-66 over West Georgia at -18.5. One unit on each of the 18 priced home games lost 7.8 units; only eight teams lost more at home.

Laying points, getting points

Favored 11 times, Tech won 10 but covered only 5. As an underdog it won once in 20 and covered 8. The whole season on the moneyline, 29 priced games, finished 5.8 units down.

February

Zero wins in seven, two covers, 7.0 units lost. The month included a 94-68 home loss to Virginia at +700. From 24 January the season ended on 12 straight defeats.
