Strange things happen in the world. If you have told me that there would be a season where the Odyssey (based in San Diego) would be on hand for Georgia Tech’s opener against Louisville and the Yellow Jackets’ finale against Georgia, I would have looked at you funny. My son’s Senior year at Emory helps explain this unexpected development.
Indeed, the Odyssey will be at Bobby Dodd Stadium Saturday night to see if Georgia Tech can put any fear into Georgia. Las Vegas does not think so as the Bulldogs are 24 point favorites. Georgia comes to Atlanta riding a 28-game winning streak. Georgia Tech is one of the more unpredictable teams of 2023. How can a team beat two ranked teams (Miami and North Carolina) but get blown out at home by Bowling Green?
Georgia Tech’s offense has playmakers, highlighted by QB Haynes King. However, GT’s run defense has been porous. Carson Beck may not have to flash his arm for Georgia to score plenty. The Odyssey fully expects the Bulldogs to end at north of 40 points. While Georgia looked vulnerable in early season contests against South Carolina and Auburn, last weeks’s mauling of Tennessee reinforced that these are Top Dawgs.
Regardless, the Odyssey cannot wait to see the Rambling Wreck!!
