HOW TO WATCH
The "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate" rivalry kicks off Saturday at noon.
The game will be televised LIVE on Channel 2 and broadcast on radio by WSB 750 AM and 95.5 FM. The game can also be heard on 680 AM and 93.7 FM.
HISTORY
In 2016, Georgia Tech won 28-27 in Athens. In fact, the visiting team has won the last four games in the series.
Only once have the Yellow Jackets won when the Bulldogs were ranked in the top 10, and that was in 2014, when Tech was itself No. 15.
Georgia leads the overall series 65-41-5.
POINT SPREAD
At most sports books, Georgia is favorite by 11 points. Experts anticipate a lot of action on the Bulldogs, so expect this line to increase as the week moves on.
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Georgia (10-1) ended its home schedule last Saturday with a 42-13 victory over Kentucky. The Bulldogs have clinched a spot in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 2 in Atlanta.
The Dawgs will face the winner of the Iron Bowl. They’ll either have a showdown with undefeated Alabama or a chance at redemption against Auburn.
However, Georgia will cannot afford a second loss on its resume, making Saturday’s game with Georgia Tech extremely important.
A loss to the Yellow Jackets would likely eliminate Kirby Smart’s team from the College Football Playoff picture.
Georgia Tech (5-5) has a lot on the line as well.
A victory would make Paul Johnson’s team bowl eligible and complete an undefeated season at home.

PREDICTION

"I'm sorry, but I can't imagine this not being a two-touchdown game," Bradley said. "I can imagine it getting much worse than that."
