This is a 10* ACC SUPER-BLOWOUT on Virginia Tech.
Duke is 8-1 overall and 4-1 in league play, while Virginia Tech is 4-5 overall and 1-4 in conference action. While the Hokies will not be competing for the conference crown, they are still bowl hopeful, meaning that every game from this point on is almost a must win and it's because of this fact that I think they'll keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. I think this will be a one possession game in the end, this sets up perfectly as a letdown spot for Duke I think. This is the opener of a three-game home stand for the Blue Devils vs. teams that are a combined 10-17 right now. "They're for real," Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said yesterday. "Certainly for real." But as I like to say, desperation breeds motivation and this also sets up as a revenge game for the Hokies after Duke came into Lane Stadium to win 13-10 last year. I also think that Duke gets caught looking ahead to rival North Carolina on Thursday night, which will end the run of three games in a 13-day span for the home side. The visitors have something to build off, VT would outscore BC 21-10 in the final frame on November 1st, but it would not be enough in the 33-31 finale (you'll remember that I had the OVER in that contest). Note that the Hokies have not dropped four straight in the ACC since joining the confernece in 2004 and have never lost five ACC games in a single season: "I hate losing," VT senior wide receiver Willie Byrn said earlier in the week. "The way it will be salvaged is if we learn something from it. I hate hearing people saying we're going to be great next year. The seniors put so much work into it." And note that Virginia Tech is 2-1 ATS in its last three as a road underdog in the 3.5 to 7 points range. I think the conditions are definitely right for the HOKIES to escape with at least an ATS cover today.
