Georgia Tech Favored by 6.5 Points Over Colorado as Total Sits at 50.5

Summary
Georgia Tech is projected to win 31-24 in Thursday’s Week 1 opener in Atlanta, with the analyst backing the Yellow Jackets to cover the 6.5-point spread and the game to go over 50.5.
Colorado’s roster overhaul drives that pick: Deion Sanders is expected to start six transfers on offense and 11 new defensive starters, with both coordinators also replaced.
Georgia Tech brings more continuity despite losing Haynes King and its offensive coordinator, and its run-first attack now features portal addition Justice Haynes against a Colorado defense that ranked 82nd in EPA per rush last season.
The over call rests on both offenses finding paths to points — Alberto Mendoza posted an 83.3% adjusted completion rate in limited action at Indiana, while Colorado added receivers who combined for 2,805 yards last season.
Betting markets listed Georgia Tech at a 68% moneyline win probability, and the over is 5-1 in the Yellow Jackets’ last six games as a home favorite.
