I haven't provided a write up in quite sometime, and as I've been studying and watching lines (No Coin style) trying to recover from last night. I think I might of found a nice little gem to start your Saturday.
It's no secret that Beamer Ball is long gone, and Hokies are not the team they once were. Logan Thomas has all the talent required to succeed but he has just been unable to get it going.
They are ending their non conference slate Saturday Afternoon @ home against the Thundering Herd. A team who is much improved and really very talented. They have great balance on both sides of the ball. Entering this match-up ranked 5th in Total Defense and 20th in Total Offense (granted the small sample size).
Now Bud Foster is one of the best DC's in the game, and of course brings another stellar unit this year. Ranking 4th overall in Total Defense. They were really impressive in the opener against #1 Alabama. Logan Thomas could not move the sticks and yet the Hokie Defense continued to fight hard.
Every NCAAF fan knows, how the early kick can make squads come out sluggish even at Home. Especially when a smaller school like Marshall is visiting (very short trip) a Big Name School like Virginia Tech.
If the Thundering herd can just get a big play early in this game and they start believing they can pull the upset, WATCH OUT. Don't forget that when Logan Thomas try's to force the issue, he makes mistakes.
They should be in this game all day long, as it should be very low scoring. Marshall is a much better team than people think and I think the Line shows it.
This game opened at 11.5 and has dropped, along with the total going from 53 to 49.
For whatever reason I missed this game when doing my capping this week, and normally I wouldn't recommend betting such a bad number.
However I'm going to recommend a Strong Play on Marshall +10. Also, I think it be worth it to hit the ML as well. Don't hesitate to parlay them with the Under. As the Correlation fits.
Side Notes
-Va Tech kicking game is not good I believe the kid missed 2 Fg's and an Extra point last week. He has all kinds of personal issues going on. This could really help the upset bid.
-Va Tech OC used to work with Marshall DC @ Temple and Florida.
-Va Tech could be looking ahead to ACC Schedule upcoming
-Marshall Offensive Attack contains a lot very quick passing routes, (which is exactly how you slow down a big time Pass Rush like Va Tech's)
-Va Tech Starting Tailback JC Coleman Banged up and might not play
-Marshall QB Rakeem Cato is one of the better QB's you never heard off.
-Va Tech plays Ga Tech Thursday NIght (some early prep for ACC play?)
Once again this is not an ALL in play or anything but I've hit this game pretty hard. So tail, fade or troll
OTHER SAT PLAYS:
Duke +4.5
North Texas +33
USC -6.5
Good luck Gentlemen
