What happened with the VT/Rutgers line?

[Dfjay9]

Went from VT -2 to Rutgers -1 within an hour or two.

Thank you for your lovely insight. People like you are the reason I ask questions. You are the sole reason people come to this forum.

I am forever in your debt, Your Majesty.

you want me to cap the game for you?

My god, man. Did you never learn reading comprehension? My question wasn't even a complex sentence. It was a simple sentence.

Once again, I am in awe.

Stop acting like an ass hole dude. If you dont know why the line moved then dont even comment.

Sharp money. Public money. Who knows? Some syndicate probably hit Rutgers hard or a tout service released Rutgers as their play.

Why was Va Tech favored here is the real question?

They are 11-3 all time over Rutgers and Rutgers own the longest active bowl winning streak.
Va Tech is unranked and opened as a favorite over the ranked team because if Vegas had listed Rutgers as a favorite early. Then people would have really pounded Rutgers.

However cunning as Vegas is by opening Va Tech a favorite it played the head game with those who fail to cap the game for themselves.


Would you hesitate to bet on a team that is 3-11 against the other team if they opened as a favorite?

Would you question whether Rutgers streak stays intact if they are listed as a dog over a unranked team.

Its all psychological warfare and the books are masters of it.

my 2 cents

[Dfjay9]

VT leads in all statistical categories virtually. The only one they don't that is of note is 3rd down conversion %, chalk that up to strength of schedule differences imo.

The purpose of my asking was if anyone had seen an injury or anything substantial apart from the obvious one - money flowing on Rutgers.

Strange as this sounds Rutgers have the advantage defensively.

points allowed #5 to #44
ypg allowed #15 to #27
red zone scoring allowed #9 to #64
yards per rush allowed #9 to #29
interceptions taken #10 to #58
defensive field goal conversions allowed #18 to #89
takeaways per game #9 to #73


Va tech does have a better Sack and 3rd down stopping %

For me its all about the turnovers Rutgers average 2.5 take aways per game and Va tech is giving the ball away a average of 2 times per game.

Also as weird as it seems Rutgers is allowing 59% on field goal attempts. How and why I am not sure but I like it. Va Tech is allowing 80% and they use to be the Beamer ball specialist.

Good Luck.
