    VT vs GT: Thoughts

    In a battle of the technical institutes I like VT +3... I think the VT defense will be more then enough to control the flow of the game...

    Plus GT offense has been to sporadic this year for my liking

    The O/U is at 41 right now... I like the under

    VT: 21 GT: 17

    I would like Virginia Tech but I am afraid that their offense may really struggle against that tough Georgia Tech defense. Virginia Tech defense cannot control the flow of the game unless their offense can be productive and keep their defense some rest. You should also consider what happened last year when these teams played in Virginia. Than take into consideration that Georgia Tech has a bye week and Virginia Tech is coming off the toughest loss of the year. THis is why that Georgia Tech is favored in this game. There is no posssiblity of a trap here. THe oddsmaker set the spread based on future line movements. Do not expect the books to lose money and that is why Goegia Tech is favored in this game. Wait til game time, take Georgia Tech -1.

    1) Tough losses in the college level do not play to the favor of any team. It promotes doubt. I see many people always taking this angle in the wrong direction thinking its to the benefit to play after a tough loss. It can only when you have a patsy next game and really run up the score. This is not the case here being a dog on the road.

    2) The freshman RB for GT is very capable. I expect the team to rally and really lay some nasty blocks to break him loose. Again I see many posters just reading the headlines and seeing the starting RB is out so assuming to fade GT - mistake IMO

    3) GT is a home dog, under the bright lights of a national TV audience, and the public is all over VT (I know many of you hate that angle).

    I think GT wins comfortably something like 24-13

    Eh. it JUST changed to -2 on BetUS....I should have pulled the trigger at -1.5. I think GT wins by 11, but we'll see. I think VT will have some serious issues moving the ball.

    24-13...if that.

    VT - ML 2 units

    VT is 13-1 on the road since joining the ACC.

    I also have a small parlay on the first half (VT +1 and u/20)

    GL
