Miami Florida at Virginia Tech

Premium Pick

Miami Florida has won and covered the last two meetings and both games went UNDER, including last year's 30-20 win over the Hokies. Miami is coming off two tough losses to Florida State and North Carolina while Virginia Tech was stunned at Syracuse, 31-17, as a 23-point favorite. It was a sandwich game for the Hokies who were coming off a big win at North Carolina and had this game on deck. They still are #15 in the country in scoring defense and seventh in total yards allowed. Miami is tied at fourth, allowing only 14 points per game. Brad Kaaya was 16-of-31 for 224 yards against the Tar Heels and Mark Walton and Joe Yearby combined for 156 rushing yards on 34 carries. The teams have nearly identical stats on offense while the Hokies own a slight advantage defensively, although you wouldn't know it from last week's performance. Miami has gone UNDER 13 of its last 19 conference games and five of its last six against winning teams. The points are valuable in this matchup, so play Miami and the UNDER.
