Miami Hurricanes vs. Virginia Tech Hokies odds had the Hurricanes a -2 1/2 favorite at SBG Global. The line was originally a pick.
This was one of the most bet on games, and with good reason. Around 85 percent of the action was going Miami's way so if you like the Hurricanes, Gambling911.com suggests locking in the -2 ½ now as the trend is for this line to keep going up. It's already -3 at half the online sportsbooks.
Over the last 6 games, Virginia Tech has won 4 and covered the current spread in another. That was the last game they played where Miami won by two points at home. Assuming the current line, VTech would be 3-0 ATS over the last three games in this series.
The Hurricanes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

From Stats.com:
The Hokies squeaked out a 16-15 victory over then-No. 19 Nebraska last Saturday. After managing only 195 yards of offense in the first three quarters, quarterback Tyrod Taylor connected with Danny Coale on an 80-yard pass, setting up an 11-yard touchdown toss to Dyrell Roberts three plays later with 21 seconds remaining.
"This is one of those games that could turn things around if you build on it and learn from it," coach Frank Beamer told the Hokies' official Web site. "We need to learn from it -- not only the great plays at the end, but all those things in between that we need to get better at. When you can win one like that and improve from it, that's important to your season."
Taylor finished 12 of 27 for 192 yards. The Hokies tallied 278 yards of offense -- only 86 on the ground -- as they again struggled to put up numbers against a top 25 foe.
Senior cornerback Stephan Virgil is expected to be back in the lineup after suffering an injury and should improve the Hokies defense.
Gambling911.com will go with the Virginia Tech Hokies to cover the +3 points found elsewhere as we like the recent series trends favoring VTech.
