Syracuse Orange vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 10/25/25

The seventh-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will look to continue their perfect season this Saturday when they welcome in the Syracuse Orange. Georgia Tech now sits as the only remaining unbeaten team in the ACC. The Yellow Jackets defeated Duke last week on the road 27-18, handing them their first conference loss of the season. Georgia Tech trailed by three points late in the 3rd-quarter before they scored 20 unanswered points, leading them to victory as slight underdogs. Quarterback Haynes King continues to lead the Yellow Jackets in both passing yards and rushing yards. He combined for a total of 325 yards against Duke. Syracuse started their season 3-1, but have since lost three straight games. The losing streak started when Syracuse saw their starting quarterback Steve Angeli go down with a season-ending injury. Sophomore quarterback Rickie Collins has filled the role, throwing for 733 yards, 5 touchdowns and 8 interceptions in his 5 total appearances this season. Collins struggled in the team’s most recent loss to Pittsburgh. He threw 3 interceptions and completed less than 50% of his passes. 

The season is beginning to spiral out of control for Syracuse. What was supposed to have been an offense that can stretch defenses with big passing plays, Syracuse now sits in the middle of their season with a young, inexperienced quarterback room that will need to improve if Syracuse wants to salvage their season with three ranked teams coming up on their schedule in the next four weeks. This could be another tough week for the Orange against one of the top rushing quarterbacks in the ACC. Syracuse’s defense ranks near the bottom half of college football, allowing on average 270 yards passing and 151 yards rushing per game. King should be in for a big game offensively. He has thrown for 1176 yards and ran for another 560 yards this season. A positive for Syracuse has been their pass rush. They were able to keep the game close against Pittsburgh in the first half by consistently pressuring the quarterback. Kevin Jobity Jr. led the defense with three sacks. King will be much harder to contain. Georgia Tech has kept their quarterback upright in the pocket consistently this season. King has not been sacked in his last three games. If Georgia Tech can keep playing the way they have been, they should be able to control time of possession with the run, win the turnover battle against a young quarterback, and score on a big play when the opportunity presents itself. All of this sounds like a great path towards a win and a cover.

Georgia Tech -17.5 is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
