If you can hit it between around 10AM and noon you should be able to go straight through on 85 without too much trouble (barring a wreck of course).

Also, have you looked at typical traffic for various times on google maps? That's usually a pretty good indicator of what it'll be like.

(And wave to me as you go through downtown, I'll likely be at Georgia Tech moving my son out of his dorm when you're driving through.)
