The run game is all you will see

Back to the picks, as I took a few days off for the holidays.

Air Force v. Georgia Tech, should be an all out ground assault. These two rank #1 and #2 in the ground game, there is no hiding that they both run the ball, and run it well. Air Force's 4 losses all came to quality opponents, all four are bowl teams, three of the four at the time were ranked in the top 10, the only team not ranked was San Diego St. who already won their bowl game. Georgia Tech on the other hand, had some bad losses. They lost to a horrible Kansas team, and average to below average Clemson, Miami, and Georgia teams.

Unlike Nesbitt, Jefferson though not great at it, can throw the ball ok. Nesbitt may catch the falcons off guard maybe once or twice, but his passing ability is low the falcons don't have to worry about much from the air attack, they will crowd the box and shut down the run. Georgia Tech can't do the same thing though. They have to keep people out of the box due to Jefferson being able to beat them in the air as well. If you see Georgia Tech crowding the box look for Jefferson to go in the air a lot more.

This should be an entertaining game, I'm really looking forward to it. With that said I love Air Force in this game. They are the better wishbone team, with the better QB. With the Falcons being more of a dual threat team I see a comfortable win. My prediction is Air Force 42 GT 21.

Take Air Force, I got em' locked in at -2.5, good luck!
