Tonight we try to get back on the winning path after a tough tough weekend calling football games last weekend. Tonight Georgia Tech rumbles into Coral Gables Florida to face the Miami Hurricanes. Georgia Tech and it's always tough wishbone rushing attack completely gashed the Miami Hurricanes last season for nearly 500 yards rushing. This was a record against any Miami defense in the storied history of the Miami Hurricanes. What do we have tonight through? Will Georgia Tech repeat it's performance away from the confines of home and in the hostile road environment. This game is a bit of a mystery to me in the sense that I was quite impressed with Miami's victory over Florida State two weeks ago... unfortunately Florida State failed to wow me last week against lowly Jacksonville State. Is this a Miami offense that seemed to be able to throw the ball with relative ease against Florida State two weeks ago because of an improved Jacory Harris at quarterback or did they simply feast on a Florida State team that all and all continues to underachieve? The public seems to be picking Georgia Tech plus the points but many think Tech very well may repeat it's performance from last year and beat the Hurricane's outright here. The line for this game started with Miami as about a five point favorite and at last check the line has fallen to Miami -4. Secondly with any option oriented rushing attack usually that means that offense, in this case Georgia Tech's offense, will run a lot of plays and due to the sheer number of plays Georgia Tech runs it limits the overall total score of the game. But wait you say, Georgia Tech has put up over 30 points in each of the last two games with last weeks 30 point output coming against a game Clemson squad. Sure 30 points against Clemson, on the surface, is impressive but lets not forget about some of the special teams breakdowns by Clemson that lead to easy points. With all that being said still the odds-makers have set the posted total for this game is 54!
I tend to think this game ends up somewhere in the neighborhood of 24-20 in favor of the Canes. My 
of the night will be the UNDER of the posted total of 54. If you are feeling saucy I'll throw out a and say Miami covers the 4 points as well. I hope you guys had a great Thursday and an even better Thursday night! Happy gambling folks!
