Virginia Tech at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 78, Virginia Tech 72

Moneyline

PASS.

While the Hurricanes (-190) are favored at home, taking them to win straight up isn’t worth doing given the minimal profit you’ll receive if they secure the victory — especially because they should win by margin.

Considering how these teams perform on the road and at home, MIAMI -3.5 (-115) is the ideal way to bet on the spread. Virginia Tech is 0-6 straight up on the road, while Miami is a perfect 11-0 straight up at home this season.

The Hokies are 3-7 ATS in their 10 games against ACC opponents this season. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are 8-3 ATS in conference play.

Over/Under

OVER 143.5 (-105).

Virginia Tech at Miami odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Virginia Tech Hokies at Miami Hurricanes odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Virginia Tech Hokies (5-5, 3-3 ACC) visit the Miami Hurricanes (5-5, 3-3) Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Virginia Tech vs. Miami odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Hokies racked up a season-high 48 points in a win last week against Duke. It was a rare cover, as they enter 2-6 ATS across the past eight outings.

The win was the last one for Justin Fuente in Blacksburg, Virginia as he was relieved of his head coach duties on Tuesday. Defensive line coach J.C. Price will serve as the interim coach the rest of the way.

The Hurricanes entered last week’s game at Florida State on a three-game win streak but blew a late lead to their rivals in the 31-28 loss. The good news is that the offense has scored 28 or more points in seven straight outings, and the Over is 4-1 across the past five games.

Virginia Tech at Miami odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 34, Virginia Tech 20

Money line

Miami (-280) will cost you nearly three times your potential return, and that’s too expensive for a .500 team, even one playing a team with an interim coach.

AVOID, and look to the line.

Against the spread

MIAMI -7.5 (-102) is a decent play laying the 7-and-a-hook. It has been getting consistent offensive play and a new identity with QB Tyler Van Dyke. The Hurricanes fun team and a talented offense.

They’re going to take care of business at home, and punch their ticket to the bowl season with a double-digit win. Virginia Tech +7.5 (-122) is also 2-5 ATS in the past seven meetings in this series.

Over/Under

The UNDER 56.5 (-110) is the lean, but it’s only worth a small-unit play.

The Under is 9-3 in the past 12 games overall for Virginia Tech while going 5-0 in the past five as an underdog. The offense might also be a bit disjointed in the first game without Fuente.

The Under is 12-5-1 in the past 18 meetings in this series, including 7-2 in the past nine meetings in Miami.
