Author's Note: I'm gonna be introducing some new stuff this season, so if you are confused by anything please ask away so I can make sure I'm explaining everything correctly.
You guys and gals obviously remember last years disappointing loss to the Dukies, where an injury to Justin Thomas severely limited the capabilities of our offense. Since then Tech has improved rather drastically and that improvement, at least in the computer models, has carried over into this season. Vegas has Tech as anywhere from an 8 to 9 point favorite.
Computer Ranks
| Model | GT | Duke |
| S&P+ | 19th | 33rd |
| FEI | 14th | 38th |
| FPI | 12th | 50th |
| MELLS | 13th | 17th |
S&P+ is a model built by Bill Connelly, SB Nation's resident Analytics guru, FEI is the Fremau Efficiency Index, a possession based rating system, FPI is ESPN's CFB ratings metric, and MELLS is my own model I'm working on to predict the score of each game, still has some kinks and isn't as accurate as the others, but I'm the writer so we are gonna use it.
