At 7:30pm ET, my Friday Hook and Ladder selection is on Virginia Tech. The Hurricanes have looked good. They comfortably took down Florida in their first game and have blown out their 3 opponents since. Those results are impressive but they've also driven the line way up. The Canes are now lying more points for this game versus Virginia Tech than they were for their game at South Florida. That's giving us great value with Hokies when considering that they have far more talent than USF. Recall that the Hokies brought back 21 starters from a team which won five of its final seven games last season. The Hokies do have 2 losses but both of those came by 7 points or less. These teams have met 4x since 2019. Those games were decided by 7, 1, 12 and 6 points. This one will also be close. Grab the big points.
