    i really have no opinion on this game. Haven't followed VT all that much. I agree with you that BC will probably have trouble scoring but Matt Ryan is pretty damn good and the backdoor is always open with him. I'll add one thing, a lot of people that I respect like VT.

    Yes, I like the play. Will likely play Tech myself, although I was hoping for a little better than -4.5.

    As a result of the weather conditions, there's very little that can be taken from their meeting 5 weeks ago, but since that game these 2 teams have gone in completely opposite directions. VT's offense is infinitely improved from earlier in the season when they struggled against the likes of E. Carolina and UNC. This is largely due to the fact that in recent weeks RB Brandon Ore has finally resembled the player he was a year ago, and he's done so against some very good defenses - GT, FSU, Miami and UVA. Tech has also gotten very good QB play in recent weeks, both from Glennon and Taylor, who, as djeffectz mentioned, wasn't available in their first meeting. It's likely that they will split time, and Taylor's ability to scramble brings and added dimension to the offense.

    BC's pretty banged up on defense, and the loss of DB Dajuan Tribble can't be overstated on multiple fronts. He's likely a future first or second-round pick in the NFL, and a big-play guy who's one of the undisputed leaders of the Eagles' defense. His absence will also be felt on special teams, where he's a very effective return man. I think a healthy and surging VT offense will give BC a lot of trouble.

    VT's defense has been equally effective of late, and while Matt Ryan is quite good, he's still prone to making poor decisions. One of the primary faults of BC this year has been Jagodzinski's tendency to abandon the run and throw the ball all too much. It's really ridiculous considering the Eagles possess two very good backs, but this mentality has, and will likely continue to lead to costly turnovers, particularly against an aggressive and talented defense like VT.

    I think VT wins this game by 10-14.

    Good luck.

    I like VT very much here. I'm not sure what plays I'm betting this weekend, but VT may be on of them.

    I like VaT a lot here. They've been underrated all year because of their slow start -a sluggish first game win but non cover vs ECU in the heavy emotion of the first game after the tragedy and the blowout loss to LSU. Since then , they've been very strong.

    Watched most of the VT games this year, and I am weary of them in this spot tbh. I wil watch the game, but havta take a pass, at least at the sides, I have to feel at this point that VT's O has been running too good for norm and is overrated at this point. Gl though, i do hope ur bet wins

    Everyone is on Va Tech (about 84-16% ratio). I personally have a strong lean on BC +5.

    Good luck everyone.

    BC usually loses against bad teams. They always show up to play in big games. It doesn't make sense but it is what it is.

    I took BC +4.5

    B.C. dominates the first half and somehow comes out tied 16-16 due to lousy kicking game.

    BC coach also very short with Bonnie Bernstein at the half.

    What game are you watching? VT had one sustained drive that didn't come from BC penalties.

    Do you have a point?

    VT just got the ball in BC territory and did what with it?

    They can't do shit offensively. Ryan will win this game.

    yea Vtech proved they are by far the better team, they are -2 in turnovers and will still win the game.
