The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are set to face the Colorado Buffaloes in a highly anticipated college football matchup during Week 1 of the 2025 season. Georgia Tech finished their previous campaign with a 7-6 record, but struggled on the road, attaining only one victory.

Kickoff at Folsom Field is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. The latest odds from SportsLine have Georgia Tech as 4-point favorites, with an over-under total point count of 51.5. Before making any wagers on this matchup, it is advisable to consult the projections from the SportsLine model, which has been known to yield a solid profit for bettors in recent seasons.
Key Picks from the SportsLine Model:
- Colorado +4
- Under 51.5
Analysis on Colorado +4
The Buffaloes were notably strong against the spread last season, showcasing a 9-4-0 record by covering nearly every game between Weeks 3 and 14. Coach Deion Sanders is currently grappling with a quarterback dilemma, possibly rotating between Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis. Georgia Tech’s Haynes King, along with running back Jamal Haynes, is expected to challenge Colorado’s defense, which has shown inconsistencies in previous games. The model indicates that Colorado is likely to cover the spread more than half of the time based on simulations.
Insights on the Under 51.5
Last season, Colorado’s games saw the under hit in six instances, including the last three matchups they played, even with Hunter in the lineup. The Georgia Tech defense excelled by allowing just 342.8 total yards per game, resulting in the under being a common outcome in many of their games last season. This matchup appears to align with those previous trends.
