Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati

The Virginia Tech Hokies were at one time a team under Coach Frank Beamor that was frequently in the Top 10. That has not been the case lately, but one signature of a Beamor coached team is strong defense. That still has not changed as Tech is one of the best defensive teams in the country, and Bowl dogs, with a strong defense, have been very strong wagers in Bowl games over the years. They have dominated teams with good QBs this season, including Ohio State. They will face another one in Gunner Kiel of Cincinnati in this Bowl game. Cincinnati has a brutal defense, and unfortunately the Hokies are not good offensively, but they will be a bit better against a Bearcat stop unit that is significantly below average. The Hokies stop what Cincinnati has done best, which is throw the ball, and I think Cinncinati is going to struggle offensively in this game. It is tough to sustain a drive against Virginia Tech as they have allowed an average of less plays per drive than any team in CFB this season, which bodes well for them in this one. The Hokies' defense has also led the way following a win, as they have been an amazing 40-19-2 to the UNDER in their last 61 after a win in their previous game, as well as being 14-6-2 to the UNDER in their last 22 following a game where they allowed less than 100 rushing yards. The Bearcats come in at 6-0 to the UNDER after passing for 280+ yards in their last game. We have a live dog in this one, so play Virginia Tech on the moneyline and play the UNDER in this one.
