Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs Duke Blue Devils Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/18/25

Georgia Tech used its bye week to re-focus its attention on the ACC race. After narrowly losing at Wake Forest in Week 5, the ensuing bye week was much needed. It worked; the Yellow Jackets came out of their week off looking strong offensively against Virginia Tech. Granted, the Hokies are a shell of their historical selves, but the Jackets gained 481 total yards, converted on 7/12 third downs, and rushed for 6.4 yards per carry and a total of 268 rushing yards. On the other side of the ball, I still have some questions. GT surrendered 367 yards to a flailing VT team, in addition to 5.5 yards per carry and 8.6 yards per pass – though the Jackets were strong on third downs. 

Duke’s offense has been humming. In their last 3 games, the Blue Devils have scored 128 points combined in wins over NC State, at Syracuse and at Cal. Fresh out of a bye week, they hope to continue where they left off. Since Week 3, Duke ranks top-20 in PPA per play and top-40 in points scored per quality drive. Georgia Tech is in a similar boat, sitting 22nd in yards per play and 50th in quality drive scoring over that same span of time. 

Both of these teams have had some high-flying offensive performances mixed in with a couple head-scratching defensive performances. Now GT and Duke will line up against one another, and there’s an argument that both teams have the best offenses either opponent has seen to this point of the season – at least in recent weeks. As such, I’m expecting points in a game between 2 offenses led by 2 of the top 5 quarterbacks in the ACC. Duke QB Darian Mensah has been great as a passer, leading the ACC in touchdown passes and big-time throws. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech QB Haynes King is a savvy veteran that can create with his arm and legs out of the backfield. To this point, he has no turnover-worthy plays. Look for the offenses to control this game.
