Hokies (-) over Green Wave- This was one of the first games among the 42 bowl games that drew my attention because the line is so outrageous it could not be ignored. I actually thought that I had written the spread down incorrectly with Virginia Tech in the favorites role. Okay, I might give you that the Hokies play a more difficult schedule but not by all that much and they were just 6-6 anyway. Tulane has won 11 games after winning 12 last season including a bowl win over USC. So, is this price an over-reaction to the Green Wave entering this game without their head coach and quarterback who is preparing for the NFL draft. This point spread comes under more scrutiny upon seeing that Va. Tech has dropped four straight bowl games. Tulane is using an interim coach and has already hired Jon Sumrall from Troy as their new head coach but he won’t be a part of this bowl game. They will be without their quarterback, their leading rusher, their leading receiver and five top defensive players. Take VIRGINIA TECH!
