Value in excess of a touchdown! Projected box-score shows Virginia passing edge of 82.77 yards in excess of Virginia Tech passing total. Key factors noted: Virginia outgained Miami by 81 yards last week so the final score was not evident of how well the Cavaliers played. The Hokies had to endure 4 Panthers opportunities from the 1-yard line in their nail-biting win over Pittsburgh. Virginia Tech is now over-priced here off of a fortunate win with the Cavs off of an unfortunate loss. The Hokies have dominated this series with 13 straight wins but the Cavaliers have narrowed the gap significantly between these teams and head coach Mendenhall has turned this team around. They fully believe in themselves that they can get the upset win and end "the streak" here versus Virginia Tech. Adding to the emotion for the Cavs here is that it is Senior Day in Charlottesville. Projected box-score shows Hokies rushing edge of 75.66 yards in excess of Cavaliers rushing total. Net edge of 7.11 total yards for the underdog equating to evenly matched game per MIT Simulator which equates to solid value with the big home underdog. Play: VIRGINIA
