Total: 50.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
It's simple to understand why Miami has gone under in its last five games and why Virginia Tech has gone under in four of its past five games.
Both teams have tremendous defenses. Virginia Tech has held its last three foes - Boston College, North Carolina and Duke - to a combined 20 points The Hokies are the second-stingiest defense in the country holding opponents to 11.5 points a game.
The Hokies rate in the top six in in fewest first downs allowed and third-down conversations. Miami is 119th out of 130 schools in third down conversions.
The Hurricanes are no slouch defensively either. with a top-notch secondary and ranking 18th in the country in yards per play.
I see both offenses struggling. Virginia Tech has a mediocre ground attack. None of the Hokies' running backs has had a 100-yard rushing game this season. Freshman QB Josh Jackson has played well, but this will be the best secondary he's faced all season. Only two teams have held quarterbacks to a lower passer rating than the Hurricanes.
Miami is coming off a terrible offensive performance against North Carolina. The Hurricanes were lucky to win, 24-19. Quarterback Malik Rosier injured his shoulder in that game, but is expected to start. Virginia Tech has held opposing quarterbacks to the seventh-lowest passer rating. Miami hasn't scored more than 27 points in any of its last four games.The under has cashed six of the last seven times Miami has hosted Virginia Tech.
The Hurricanes rushed for a season-low 59 yards against North Carolina. Virginia Tech has the top run defense in the ACC.
The under has been a proven money-maker in Virginia Tech conference and road games. The under has cashed 21 of the last 30 times in Virginia Tech's conference games and is 8-3 in the Hokies' past 11 away contests. There's also a chance of rain for this matchup.
