Virginia Tech Hokies

The line on Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Miami Hurricanes opened at -3 ½ and since that time not all college football betting lines have been the same.  In fact, we counted three different lines on this game: 4, 4 ½ and 5.  The Mirage in Vegas was still sitting at -4 while one or two online outfits had the -4 ½ line and nearly everyone else was offering Miami at -5 including the fine folks at betED.com

Against The Spread, Virginia Tech is 8-2 in this series.  They are also 6-4 Straight Up.  Virginia Tech has won 4 of the last 5 Straight Up.  

There are some really solid stats supporting the Hokies. 

They are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games in November; 13-4 ATS in their last 17 Thursday games;  12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 conference games. 

The Hurricanes, meanwhile, are 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 conference games, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games following a bye week. 

Does Gambling911.com really love Virginia Tech in this situation?  You betcha.  Our pick is Virginia Tech at +5 at betED.com

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
