Predictions

ESPN: According to ESPN analytics, the Cardinals have a 70.0% chance of beating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon.

Kenpom: Kenpom seems to be on a different wavelength when predicting this game. Kenpom has the Cards at a 79% chance of beating Georgia Tech, a 9% change from ESPN analytics. Kenpom predicts the score to be 79-70 in favor of the Cards.

Personal: I agree with both on the outcome of the game. I tend to lean closer to Kenpom and even my predictions line up, Saturday we turn Atlanta into PATlanta. I have Cards 83, Yellow Jackets 71.
