Virginia Tech vs Miami Prediction
Virginia Tech is a bad team on both sides of the ball and is 2-8 ATS on the season. Miami has the edge across the board, especially with a top-10 defense against this Hokies offense. Miami has taken care of business in back-to-back weeks and needs to keep winning with style points if it has any chance of sneaking into the playoffs. Miami can’t afford to play around if it wants to convince the committee it deserves a playoff spot. I expect a blowout. Give me the Canes by a wide margin.
