(NCAAF) Ohio State vs. Virginia Tech,
Point Spread: 14.00 | -109.00 Virginia Tech (Home)
Result: Loss
I am backing VT with the points here on Monday night. The suspension of Joey Bosa could be a big one as he is one of the toughest men in the country at applying pressure on opposing QB's. Michael Brewer the Va. Tech signal caller won't miss his absence one bit. Expect the Hokies to enter the game at home with confidence. With two solid returnees on the defensive line in Ken Ekanem & Dadi Nicholas ( 19 combined sacks ), Virginia Tech should get some pressure on J.T. Barrett of the Buckeyes. Braxton Miller is the X-Factor for the Buckeyes as he will start in the slot and there could be numerous trick plays centered around him throughout the night. CB Kendall Fuller of Tech is one of the best corners in the nation and should help lead the way for the veteran secondary. If the Hokies are focused and can win the turnover battle they'll hang tough here at home.
