This is a 9* play on Virginia Tech.

Syracuse is 3-4, while Virginia Tech is 3-3.

The Orange are off a 17-14 loss to Clemson last weekend, losing SU, but covering ATS. Garrett Schrader has 818 passing yards, five TD's and three INT's for the Orange, while Sean Tucker leads Syracuse in rushing with 948 rushing yards and nine rushing TD's.

The Hokies will be eager to atone for and to bounce-back off a listless 28-7 loss to Pitt, looking poor offensively and decent defensively in the setback.

VT QB Braxton Burmeister has 1,064 passing yards, six TD's and three INT's (he also leads the team in rushing with 212 yards.)

This is a crucial game for the home side, which must win here if it has any chance at winning the coastal.

Virginia Tech has been decent against the run, and that's definitely the Orange's strength on offense, as they average 231.7 YPG on the ground.

After two straight tough losses, I like VT to bounce back at home here with a big win and cover.

Lay the points.

Good luck, NP
