Week 6 of the 2022 NCAA college football season includes an ACC showdown between the Duke Blue Devils and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Duke's perfect season came to an end against Kansas in Week 4, however, the Blue Devils managed to rebound nicely with a 38-17 win over Virginia last week.
On the other hand, Georgia Tech shocked a lot of people last week with their 26-21 victory against No. 24 Pittsburgh. The win snapped the Yellow Jackets' two-game losing skid, leaving time to tell if it was a fluke performance or the signs of better things to come .

Duke vs Georgia Tech Prediction & Pick
While Georgia Tech's win over Pittsburgh was impressive, the Panthers didn't look overly impressive. I do think that the Yellow Jackets have some talent on their roster, but they need to show more consistency before bettors can back them with confidence.
At the end of the day, I think that Duke's rushing attack will run all over Georgia Tech's defense. The Blue Devils are cranking out 195 rushing yards per game (No. 25), while the Yellow Jackets surrender an average of 206.3 yards on the ground (No. 116).
Georgia Tech may continue to show promise here, but Duke will get the job done on the road.
Final Score Prediction:'Duke: 28 | Georgia Tech: 20
