ESPN’s FPI is back with more predictions for the week ahead in Week 14.

The Georgia Bulldogs will host the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry game having already secured a trip to the SEC Championship Game. The Bulldogs took care of business against UMass last week, while the Yellow Jackets got a thrilling 30-29 victory against NC State.

While neither team may be playing for a lot in this game, this is 1 of those rivalries where you can throw out the records. ESPN’s FPI is giving the Bulldogs just under a 90% chance to win this game, leaving the Yellow Jackets a huge underdog with just a 10.2% chance to win the game.

The in-state rivals will collide Friday in a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff from Sanford Stadium, with the game aired on ABC on Friday.

The Bulldogs lost to Ole Miss on November 9, but have picked up back-to-back wins against Tennessee and then UMass on Saturday. Georgia will play the winner of Texas and Texas A&M in Atlanta for the SEC Championship.

Quarterback Carson Beck has had some turnover issues on the season, but he has thrown for 644 yards, 6 touchdowns and 0 interceptions in the last 2 weeks. His worst game of last year was against Georgia Tech, as he threw for 175 yards in the 31-23 win.

The Yellow Jackets picked up its marquee victory of the season just a couple weeks ago, as they knocked off then undefeated Miami 28-23 in Week 11. In the win against NC State last week, there were 36 points combined scored in the final quarter. Freshman quarterback Aaron Philo scored an 18-yard rushing touchdown in the final seconds to give the Yellow Jackets the win.
