When you can&#8217;t protect the passer (39 sacks) and can&#8217;t run the football (ranked 112th in the country) you are going to have problems.<\/p>\n<p>In seven of their games, Virginia has scored 17 points or less, which makes things tough in the football betting odds, although they are 6-4 against the number.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia Tech&#8217;s Ryan Williams is one of the best freshmen running back in the country. Williams has rushed for 100 yards or more in eight of his team&#8217;s eleven games, and he scored four touchdowns in last week&#8217;s 38-10 win over North Carolina State.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia Tech&#8217;s rushing game (4.5 ypc) is in much better shape than it was last year, and part of the reason is that Tyrod Taylor has improved himself as a passer. Taylor has thrown just three interceptions this season, with nine yards per attempt.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like Al Groh may be out of a job in Charlottesville, and I&#8217;m not sure that this game is going to help him any. His quarterbacks are not going to get a lot of relief from a Hokies defense that has permitted only 46% completions. That defense has some momentum too, having allowed just 22 points in the last three games, and against a couple of offenses that are capable.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia Tech is a 68% road proposition over the last six seasons, and has covered four of the last five meetings. We&#8217;ll lay the points with the Hokies, the 16-point favorite in the BetUS NCAA football betting odds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OUR PLAY: VIRGINIA TECH -16 ***<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">CFB BETTING SEASON  PROMO: A 100% match play bonus for 1st Time players Up To $500.
