Va Tech favored by 2 by vegas

[Poptimus]

Going to monitor that line all week.

@Poptimus better send up the flare later in the week.

Yesterday, it was posted by @JD08 that VT was a 66% favorite per ESPN, which would correlate to a 4 point spread. This seems more reasonable but I still like us plus the points. I really like us teased to +8 on a two team parlay. Will monitor the line move this week. These 2 point spreads often move to 2.5 before they revert back to 1.5 FWIW.

I won’t break the cardinal rule of betting on your own team, but it’s temping. VT has given up 200 rushing the last three games.

It's pretty sad when you have a team ranked 9 in the top 25 poll and the other team is not even ranked and they are expected to beat you. To me they're saying this team is not really warranted of a 9th rated ranking we received. hmmmm.

You're catching on

 

[j06smith]

Clearly, we are an overrated team. We have beaten no one and struggled beating bad teams with their back up QB’s. Vegas isn’t stupid like the Don Bailey Jr’s on this site.

That being said, Miami has to continue winning for the future, not so much for this season. Furthermore, pray Diaz realizes it will not compete with the premier programs with the current staff on the Defensive side. We need a real DC who bring his own people and takes our Defense to another level.

You are correct.... Continue to win, hold on to recruiting class and make some noise.

Another test for Manny Diaz as a coach. Noon start, against a team coming off a loss that will play like their season depends on it

I actually got a sinking feeling as Liberty beat Vatech because I knew that the emotional dynamics that would be in play that are often so prevalent in college football

Manny, show me something. Make me a believer

And they've given up plenty in the pass game in all but one game (ironically, WF, which they lost).

Their entire fanbase wants Fuente fired. I watched the VT/Liberty game, and no surprise, Hooker is looking to run most of the time. If Herbert is out that would be humongous for us, and we need a guy like Flagg back or Brooks to play well in order to spy on the aforementioned QB.

Also as many posters have echoed, Liberty is a good football team with a Miss. St transfer at QB in Malik Willis. Hugh Freeze can coach offense, he's done a **** of a job there.

This game will be reminiscent of the Louisville game.

Canes by 14+.

They could easily still beat us. VT is legit on Offense and their QB can put 100 yards on the ground pretty easily on us. Don’t sleep on them.

Vegas also thought VT would beat Liberty by 17.

 

[edge]

liberty is actually really good and has a better coach than we do.

Also Va Tech can score points, at home, off a bad loss and looking for a bounce back.

Miami has squeaked by the last 3 games and not looked good.

not hard to see how vegas thinks this is an even matchup. Home team always gets 3 points to start with.

You must have not watched the VT/Liberty game. If Freeze is such a guru why did he not instruct his team not to score but to instead drain the clock? Then he had epic corching moment when he tried a 59 yard fg at end of game with a kicker who had a career long of 45. Kick was blocked and returned for a TD but he was saved by a even better corching moment when Fuentes decided to ice a 59 yard fg. Freeze might have you all excited but the fact is VT defense is absolute Swiss cheese. We will hang 50 on them if we get a couple turnovers.

Everybody plays the U differently, than their other opponents. It’s what we did to them in the past, they still hurt.

 

[ChicagoCane1992]

Who will spy Hooker? Gil? Smith? Brooks? Would be nice to see Flagg back and for Steed to get a little more time. Anything to keep 53 and 44 off the field but we know that won’t happen. Our d line needs to feast next weekend.

 

[M3N]

All I know this a guaranteed loss out baker is calling the shots from the opening kickoff.

 

[Mnhurricane]

I dont think we will run past every single DB in man all night so I do hope we scheme some other big plays and chain movers. God knows Fuente and co will outcoach Baker

 

[Southbeach44]

VT and the whole Blacksburg thing is the most over rated thing in college football. They suck and we should kill them.

 

[D_G87]

What’s the word on Herbert?

 

[vscruggs]

First to 40 wins. How’s their secondary?

I'll agree. Especially when McCloud and Jennings have only 26 solo tackles collectively

 

[Invalid Username]

How is that not a shocker how are they favored after a lost to liberty

Really? Really? Have you been living under a rock the past couple years with this team. This VT game is a typical game we come out looking like **** and lose. I am scared to death that our defense will let Hooker run for 200 on us.
