Week 3: Virginia Tech vs Wofford 9/17/22 College Football Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Virginia Tech Hokies and Wofford Terriers do battle Saturday in week 3 college football action from Lane Stadium.

The Wofford Terriers will be looking to rebound from a 26-0 loss to Elon last time out to fall to 0-2 on the year. Jimmy Welrick threw for 54 yards and an interception on 6 of 16 passing while Nathan Walker rushed for 49 yards on 12 carries. RJ Khayo led the Terriers with 15 receiving yards while Kyle Parsons and Landon Parker each had a pair of receptions to lead Wofford. On defense, John Boyles and David Powers each had a team-high 8 total tackles with Powers logging 6 solo tackles while Cameron Woolery added a TFL.

The Virginia Tech Hokies will be out to build on their 27-10 win over Boston College in their last game. Grant Wells has thrown for 337 yards, 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on 59.7% passing while Keshawn King leads the Hokies with 175 rushing yards and a score. Caleb Smith has a team-high 95 receiving yards while Nick Gallo leads the Hokies with 8 receptions this season. On defense, Dax Hollifield has a team-high 19 total tackles including 7 solo tackles while Armani Chatman has an interception as well this year.

Wofford is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against the ACC and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Virginia Tech is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 games in September.

I get the case to be made for either side here as it’s hard to back a team like Wofford that hasn’t scored a point even in FCS play this season, but Virginia Tech wasn’t all that special offensively against Boston College if we’re being honest. Instead, I’m looking at the under here because I wouldn’t be surprised if Wofford didn’t score here and I’m not expecting 40+ points from Virginia Tech here. Give me the under.
