PER ESPN, WE HAVE

[JD08]

This is the strangest "fan" sight that has ever existed. I mean it is just down right bizarre.

There are plenty of great posters and more than a few that have a ridiculous amount of knowledge and freely share it.

There are also enough mopes and trolls to make it frustrating. It just proves the hate is real.

Trap game

38.5 % of winning this game. Why is that. Explain PLEASE.

Maybe they’re predicting snow??

That's true, but they were also watching Deriq King slice and dice NC State for 400+ yards. VT will play us tough as usual in the beginning, but if everyone is healthy (Brevin) , we should have more than enough firepower to beat the Chokies by, pick a number: 1 point or 25 or 30. I think that team is on the verge of checking out on Justin Bieber Fuente.... wouldn't take much.

What are you smoking?

 

[Zombie-Cane]

Because there is worry we could be looking ahead to Wake Forrest?!?!?

 

[LouisianaCane337]

Any Given Saturday!! Miami has to come prepared for a dog fight and do what they do.. Miami is definitely a better team, but we can't sleep on VT at home they looking for a big upset and the refs will be on there side.. Miami has to be clicking on both sides, our defense has to play better!! Go CANES 7-1 is the goal..

We are going to roll these guys.

No we are not lol We don’t roll anyone except FSPoo

What's crazy ? That we could beat this team by one or 20? They could come out like angry Hornets, maybe they will, but I don't think it would take much to let the air out of their balloon. They are 4 and 3, and despite all of the obstacles they have had to overcome. I believe Fuente is about out of capital with his team.

 

[DamnLiesAndStatistics]

ESPNs FPI is a garbage metric (the announcers during Houston - Cincinnati even called out how wrong it looked).
S&P+ is pretty legit, those rankings are solid at predicting winners against the spread. It would have Va tech as a neutral site 1 point favorite, aka a toss up.

Also, that ranking is a lot like our fans. We won and it dropped us down by four (not that I disagree, given how we played) to 23rd

 

[Brains]

ESPN 's brilliant formula also had us losing to F$U.

Enough said.

Yeah. I put no stock in E$PN's stuff. Their percentages are nonsense. This goes for far more than our games.

 

[McGahee2TheHouse]

Probably because we have looked like **** despite wins ever since Clemson.

Just a wild guess though.......

 

[grover]

Trying to run up the pool of dumb money before the smart money bets on Miami closer to game time.

Good thing no amount of stats, predictions, money lines, etc have anything to do with the outcome of the game. Fans pay way too much attention to this stuff. Unless you’re betting big money, you’re better off not paying attention to any of it.

I believe they had FSU beating Pitt last week too? Or FSU was the betting favorite not sure which lol

 

[KrazyCane]

VaTech beat us last year, they can do it again this year If we don’t play better defense than we did the last game.

 

[ajkreider]

It's based on the FPI, which is worthless this year. No inter-league play.

How bad. Maryland, which beat the doors off of Penn St., and is 2-1, is ranked about 50 spots below them and their 0-3 record. They're also 20 spots behind Minnesota, who they also beat.

[gatorsSUCK!]

I’d rather not be favored for any game to be honest.

 

[Cajuncane]

Maybe they’re predicting snow??

or even 50 degree weather..
