One of the biggest is the rise of the Miami Hurricanes. Wins over Florida State and Georgia Tech really have people talking and the polls are listening too, as the Hurricanes cracked the nation\u2019s top 10 this week. Can they keep the surprise success going with another tough road game at Virginia Tech?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>(9) Miami Hurricanes vs (11) Virginia Tech Hokies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Team records:<\/strong><br \/>\nMiami: 2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS<br \/>\nVirginia Tech: 2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, September 26, 3:30 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<p>Online sports betting favorite: Miami -2.5<\/p>\n<p>The Virginia Tech Hokies topped many bettors\u2019 BCS sleeper lists this offseason, as they were thought to have a great defense that simply needed a bettor offensive effort to break into contention. Well, for the most part, the offense hasn\u2019t answered the call. Tyrod Taylor has the feet to make the odd big play, but let\u2019s face it \u2013 he\u2019s a major reason why VT\u2019s passing offense ranks 106th in the country. Taylor has completed 50 per cent of his passes or better just once in three games so far this season.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/baff.betonline.com\/aspx\/affiliateGetImage.aspx?ID_SC=2225&amp;ID_I=1912\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Hokies have run the ball better than expected without injured Darren Evans, but defenses will start stacking the box against Ryan Williams if Thomas doesn\u2019t get the aerial attack going.<\/p>\n<p>Miami\u2019s offense, on the other hand, looks potent and balanced. Jacory Harris\u2019s 184.1 rating is third in the nation and the running back tandem of Graig Cooper and Javarris James has helped keep defenses honest. The \u2019Canes can score and they can do so in multiple ways.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the year, any <a href=\"http:\/\/payperhead.com\/\">betting management<\/a> expert would\u2019ve told you Virginia Tech had the defensive edge in this matchup, but is that still the case now? Miami\u2019s front seven are exceeding expectations. They allowed 472 rushing yards to Georgia Tech in 2008 yet held the Yellow Jackets to 95 yards in last week\u2019s rematch. How\u2019s that for improvement? VT is going the other way, as its supposedly solid unit allowed 207 rushing yards in a close win over Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, Miami is primed for another road win. Its balanced attack will confuse Virginia Tech and its swarming \u201cD\u201d won\u2019t give Thomas time to think. Bet on Miami and watch the BCS buzz swell even more next week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freesportsbetting.org\/\"><strong>Sports bet online<\/strong><\/a><strong> pick: Miami -2.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>KICK OFF WEEK 4 OF CFB FOOTBALL SEASON WITH BETONLINE.COM HANDICAPPING CONTESTS \u2013 SURVIVOR POOL &amp; MORE\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poolside rants weighs in with some picks for Saturday&#8217;s football action&#8230;college style.
