The under is 6-2 in Hokies last 8 games overall. The Yellow Jackets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 meetings in Virginia Tech. The underdog is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 meetings.

I’m not running to the window to lay chalk with the Virginia Tech Hokies who can’t get out of their own way, but they were competitive in their last effort and playing in Blacksburg is still no easy task. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets don’t do anything right on either side of the ball, and that includes being ranked 118th in total offense and 127th in scoring offense. If Virginia Tech cant win this game by a touchdown at home, something is seriously wrong. Give me the Hokies and the reasonable number.
