Duke vs. Georgia Tech kicks off on Saturday, October 5th, at 8 p.m. ET. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (3-2) will host the undefeated Duke Blue Devils (5-0) in what should be a close game. While their matchup isn't getting much national attention, it might be one of the week's top games.

Duke has amassed wins over Elon, Northwestern, UConn, Middle Tennessee and UNC, including a 20-point comeback over the Tar Heels last week. Georgia Tech has had more of an up-and-down season.

Duke vs. Georgia Tech score prediction Week 6

Duke's unbeaten run appeared to be over last week, as it trailed UNC by twenty points. However, the Blue Devils made an impressive second-half comeback to edge a 21-20 victory.

Before that, the Blue Devils beat Elon 26-20, Northwestern 26-21 and Middle Tennessee State 45-17. While Duke hasn't stood out offensively this year, their defense has impressed. As a result, the Blue Devils are just one win from bowl eligibility.

Georgia Tech opened its season with a week 0 win over Florida State. At the time, the Seminoles were a top-10-ranked team. In retrospect, however, that victory appears less impressive as FSU is 1-4. The Yellow Jackets beat Georgia State 35-12 the following week.

Since those victories, Georgia Tech has lost two of three games, starting with a 31-28 setback to Syracuse. The Ramblin' Wreck then defeated VMI 59-7 before losing 31-19 to Louisville.

When considering the Duke vs. Georgia Tech matchup, the Blue Devils are undefeated, but Georgia Tech has faced tougher opposition and comes in off an open week. We pick the Blue Devils to win but only just, 23-20.
