This is a 10* play on VA TECH

So Syracuse is playing really well of late. As for Virginia Tech, not so much. Thursday's 73-53 blowout of Miami marked the seventh win in the last eight games for the Orange. Curiously, their one loss was to Georgia Tech - at home. During the streak, they were able to go to Duke and win - as 17-point underdogs. So I can see how they'd be very tempting as an underdog here. Virginia Tech hasn't covered any of their last five games and has been blown out in two of the games. But but both blowouts were on the road and they came against Virginia and North Carolina, two of the very best teams in the country. Syracuse might be hot, but they aren't Virginia or North Carolina. This game is also in Blacksburg. The Hokies are 10-0 at home, winning by an average margin of 28.7 points per game. They are simply a much better team here. Syracuse won't shoot as well tonight as they did vs. Miami. I guarantee it! Play on VIRGINIA TECH
