TaxSlayer Bowl
Georgia Tech (8-4, 4-4 ACC) vs. Kentucky (7-5, 4-4 SEC)
Dec. 31 – 11 a.m., ESPN
EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Fla.

Average Line: Georgia Tech, -3.5

Paul Johnson’s triple option attack is difficult to handle, it takes a very discipline defense to shut the Yellow Jackets down. I’m not sure that Kentucky is quite there yet. I think Kentucky is the more talented team, however, the triple option scheme is built to compensate for a talent gap.

Score prediction: 34-27 Georgia Tech

Players to watch:

Dedrick Mills (RB) Ga Tech

Benny Snell Jr (RB) UK

Jordan Jones (LB) UK
