The line is out, and the Miami Hurricanes are getting plenty of respect from Vegas.
Miami has opened as an 8.5-point favorite against the Virginia Tech Hokies, with the moneyline set at -450 in favor of the Hurricanes.
The total is 150.5, which puts the implied score right around 79–71, assuming the spread plays out as expected. That number tells you oddsmakers are expecting a relatively fast-paced game with Miami doing most of the scoring.
Of course, conference games can get weird. If Virginia Tech is able to control the tempo, win the battle on the glass, and limit mistakes, this spread suddenly becomes a lot more interesting.
Against the number this season, Miami is 13–12 ATS, while Virginia Tech has been slightly better at 15–11 ATS.
As always, bet responsibly.
Go Canes. Wear Orange!
