With GT missing 2 of its RBs and VT losing last week against a magic show in the last 4 mins of a game.VT is the call good sir.

Glennon will indeed have to have a B+  perfromance, but I think VT gets it done.

ThePowerOfLUCK - I would tail jlt9889 for the Over/Under play.  He's been hitting the totals very well.
 
And according to my players ratings, i'd lean on the Over, as both team's offense is predicted to play well; peculiarly, the running game.
 
VA Tech's rushing offense:
 
Branden Ore B/B-
(TE) Josh Morgan B    Kenny Lewis A/A-    (TE)Justin Harper B/B-
 
Nick Marshman B+/B                                             Duane Brown A
Sergio Render C+/C   Ryan Shuman B+   Richard Graham C-
 
GA Tech's 4-3 defense:
 
D Robertson B   D Richard C/C-   V Walker C-/D+   A Oliver A

Gary Guyton C/C-    Philip Wheeler A    Anthony Barnes B/B-

jlt9889 - Check out the NBA forum when you get a chance. Money making opportunites abound on the hardcourt also.

I haven't watched any of GT game or follow them so take it for what it's worth...  Dwyer's season # are skewed as almost all those yds came in GT 1st 2 cupcake games, ND and Samford.

If there is anything Ive learned from watching every hokie game the last 3 years is... play the under, especially since glennon is starting... he is bad, end of story.

I think your ratings, and i know they are just for this matchup are a little skewed on the VT side.
 
Glennon is never better than average so at best i say a C+
Eddie Royal is our best reciever and playmaker in special teams, he is atleast a B
Xavier Adibi doesnt give a shit whos blocking him, he is always an A

Can't understand the line either. GT???  Would you not also recommend taking the ML, since were talking less than a FG, and might as well make a few bucks anyway on a good pick, since most games decided by 3, 4 or seven.

GeorgeCarlin - I've been wondering the same thing ever since i saw the line. From past experience, everything points to a GT wager. Favored, unranked conference opponent at home giving points. I've seen a lot of this also in last year's college basketball where that certain unranked home fave wins and covers.
 
But for my money i'll go against past indications and bet on the Hokies.
 
Glennon wasn't all that bad last week versus BC. I think a B+ game out of him might get a SU win vs the Jackets.
 
It's a revenge type of game and the underdog and road team have usually won SU.

From GA Tech's game notes:

***if i remember correctly**

Under Chan Gailey's tenure, the Jackets are 8-15 SU in games versus nationally-ranked opponents. Only 2 of those wins were at home and 6 of the wins were on the road.

Just food for thought. Coaching edge to Beamer, i guess.
