Miami is the 4.5 point favorite, but I'm not buying it.
Against teams ranked in the top 30, VT is 3-1 and Miami is 1-3.
Miami has not played well at home in the last two years, where they have gone 5-16 ATS in their last 22 home games!
VT is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games.
VT proved their toughness to me when they went on the road and beat UNC and Nebraska back-to-back.
VT has won 4 of the last 5 meetings in this series and won 44-14 last year, in a game I clearly remember. Beamer shamed the clumsy Shannon in play-calling.
VT has forced 20 turovers this year, and Miami has forced only 3 INTs all year. Miami has only 18 sacks all year, tied for 7th in the league. Look for Glennon to scamper out of the pocket frequently for big gains.
If VT loses this game, it will be due to a FG in OT.
VT +4.5
