Prediction: A big game for both teams as Tech looks to secure a spot in the ACC Championship game and Duke has their eyes set on a bowl game. The 9-1 (6-1 ACC) Yellow Jackets will rely on RB Jonathan Dwyer to dominate the Blue Devil defense. The 5-4 (3-2 ACC) Blue Devils will need a big game from Thad Lewis to have any chance. Look for Nesbitt and Dwyer to have big games as the Jackets cruise to a relatively easy victory. Georgia Tech 37 Duke 17
