Valparaiso Crusaders vs Virginia Tech Hokies prediction

The Virginia Tech Hokies are the more talented team and could blow the doors off here, but they’ve also been shaky their last few games and the offense has taken a bit of a dip. The Valparaiso Crusaders have been competitive in nearly every game, including their losses, and they’re 5-3 ATS on the season. Virginia Tech hasn’t looked as dominant as of late and could be taking an early look toward that ACC schedule. I’ll take the Crusaders and the boatload of points.
