Virginia Tech vs Virginia College Football Betting Preview
Virginia Tech Hokies Betting Preview
The Hokies enter this season finale on a three-game skid and have an eye towards next season, as they've already hired former Penn State head coach James Franklin to take over the program.
However, this is a rivalry game, and we could see the Hokies motivated early.
Virginia Tech's defense is the reason they sit at 3-8, but the Hokies have an opportunity to minimize their defense's time on the field.
The rushing attack, spearheaded by Marcellous Hawkins and Kyron Drones, has been surprisingly effective. The Hokies rank 22nd nationally in yards per rush, and while they face a Virginia defense that has been effective at stopping the run, keeping the clock moving is the goal for Virginia Tech's offense.
In Virginia's most recent loss to Wake Forest, the Demon Deacons relied on their ground game, rushing 41 times and capitalizing on Virginia turnovers.
Virginia Tech is well overdue to force a few turnovers.
Virginia Cavaliers Betting Preview
The Cavaliers have been one of the biggest surprises of the season, coming into this matchup ranked 18th in the country and a win away from securing a spot in the ACC Championship.
This team deserves a ton of credit, but they've walked a tight rope on more than a few occasions against teams far less dangerous than their in-state rivals.
On paper, the Cavaliers' offense should roll against the Hokies' defense, which has been shredded all season. Virginia Tech's secondary is 129th in opponent completion percentage allowed and 119th in yards per pass.
Not to mention, they have minimal pass rush and have barely generated any turnovers. However, that could all change as we highlighted above.
It's well within the range of outcomes that the Hokies drain the clock and force Virginia's offense to operate with urgency, or they could be sleepwalking early on as they are looking past the Hokies.
Virginia Tech vs Virginia NCAAF Week 14 Pick
The market has come in and taken a clear stance by backing the Hokies after this spread opened at 10.5. Driving it down through a key number is a strong signal of confidence.
While the full-game number has come down, the first-half spread does not exactly correlate.
If the Cavs are not favored to cover by two touchdowns, they shouldn't be favored to be up by one touchdown at half.
If the Hokies are going to show life in this game, it's going to come in the first half.
Look for them to come out sharp and minimize the Cavaliers' chances to blow this open early.
Pick: Virginia Tech 1H +6.5 (-115, bet365)
