This is a 10* ACC GOY on Virginia Tech.

I think Miami will go up big, then take the foot off the gas and allow Virginia Tech to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch.

Miami is 4-0 and has been a fav in every contest so far. It beat Florida 41-17 as a two-point fav on the road in Week 1. It's then gone on to destroy three straight weaker opponents, including a 50-15 beatdown at USF last week as a 16.5-point fav.

But with a game at 3-1 Cal up next, this now not only potentially sets up as a letdown spot, but also a potential "look-ahead' spot. When you add those two factors together, you get "trap game."

Virginia Tech is 2-2 after last week's 26-23 upset home loss to Rutgers as a three-point fav.

The Hokies have responded well in this spot since last season, going 3-1 ATS in their last four after a SU/ATS loss as a favorite.

I just think that Cameron Ward and the Hurricanes have yet to be really tested. I don't think the Hokies can put up much of a fight, but I do think that Kyron Drones and RB Bhayshul Tuten can keep this Miami defense honest this weekend.

Miami has run up the score against everyone and only failed to cover against FAMU. But now I say the conditions are right for a bit of a mental letdown.

No outright or anything, but look for VT to secure the comfortable cover as the game comes down the stretch.

Good luck, NP
