Resident bookmaking expert Tony Caliente discusses Friday night’s 8 pm EST game between Virginia Tech and Virginia on ESPN.
The line on this game was coming in at UVA +6.5 after opening at +8 and, as far as being an accurate line we can say, no way, as the Hokies should be around -13.
Big underlays like this tend to scare us as there are often other components factored in such as this one being a close series over the years. Last season’s game was not close, but that can often be seen as an outlier when recent historic trends are more consistent.
Line movement indicators don’t tell us much when it comes to this game. Virginia was seeing the most action but Pinnacle only moved from Hokies -7 to -6.5.
