This is a 10* ESPN-TV TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the OVER between Virginia and Virginia Tech.
Neither of these teams has been lighting up the scoreboard of late, but for a number of different reasons I believe the conditions are right for a higher-scoring contest and look for the total to eclipse the number as the game comes down the stretch. The battle for the Commonwealth Cup is always a heated one, I'm expecting each team to be at its best today: "We need to use every resource that we can use, and that's what we're going to do this week. We're going to use everything we've got," Virignia Tech's offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler said earlier in the week. "We're not going to sit here and finger-point whenever things aren't great." From a situational stand point, this is a great play as each team comes in with identical 5-6 records, the winner will become bowl eligible, while the loser's season will come to a crashing halt. To say this is a "revenge" game for Virginia as well would be an understatement as it will look to end a 10-year losing skid to the Hokies this afternoon. For VT, a loss would signify it missing a bowl game for the first time in 21 years. Both of these team's head coaches are also on the hot seat, I think that will lead to a more wide open affair as each pulls out the playbook this evening. This is obviously a strong situationally based play, but from a trend based stand point, it's also as solid as you could possibly hope for, note that Virginia has seen the total go OVER the number in 14 of its last 25 when playing with six or less days rest, while Virginia Tech has seen it sail above the number in seven of its last 11 following a loss vs. a conference rival. The situation, the numbers and the trends all do indeed point to the OVER as the sharp move in this one.
