Va tech -3
The Hokies have had a disappointing season much to the chagrin of the fan base, including myself. There will be changes in Blacksburg, either at the end of the this season or next. Tech has numerous injuries this year, but there talent level is still superior to Dukes. This game on Saturday, is a matchup that favors Tech. Duke will rely on the running game, as they should not have much success throwing against techs secondary. If bud foster can get the guys to contain the run, it should set up techs offense with decent field position. Brewer will be back on Saturday and his presence alone should give the team an extra sense of motivation. Dukes defense is smart and underrated, led by Jeremy cash who will be playing on Sundays. With all the rumblings going on surrounding Beamer and the coaching staff, I believe tech will put it all together for one game and "upset" duke.
Vols +15
tennessee will go all in for this one. This is a tremendous rivalry with a lot of hatred between the two. Dobbs will have to be consistent, accurate, and utilize his athletic ability to give the vols a chance. I am not calling an upset here but this game will be tight. Tennessee is not nearly as bad as their record indicates.
