The stage is set for an exciting showdown as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets prepare to welcome the Louisville Cardinals to Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and the game will be televised on ESPN. Let’s take a closer look at the odds from BetMGM Sportsbook and provide expert college football picks and predictions.
Last season, the Yellow Jackets posted a 5-7 overall record and a 4-4 record in conference play. This marked an improvement over three consecutive seasons with just three wins. Georgia Tech is now entering the 2023 season with the interim title removed from head coach Brent Key, who took over midseason for Geoff Collins last year. Quarterback Zach Pyron is expected to start, with the freshman having played in three games last season, throwing three touchdowns and three interceptions.
On the other side of the field, the Cardinals concluded the previous season with an 8-5 record, including a 4-4 conference record. Former head coach Scott Satterfield left the program in the offseason to join Cincinnati after spending four years with Louisville. He has been succeeded by Jeff Brohm, who comes in after six years at Purdue.
A familiar face for Brohm will take the reins to start the year, as senior transfer QB Jack Plummer will lead the way. Plummer spent three years at Purdue before transferring to California. He started for California in 2022, throwing 21 touchdowns with 9 interceptions in 12 games. The Cardinals’ roster has undergone significant changes, with five transfers set to start on the offensive side of the ball, signaling a revamped lineup.
Intriguing matchups and storylines make this game one to watch closely as these two teams kick off their 2023 college football campaign.
