Miami is the 4.5 point favorite, but I'm not buying it.

Against teams ranked in the top 30, VT is 3-1 and Miami is 1-3.

Miami has not played well at home in the last two years, where they have gone 5-16 ATS in their last 22 home games!

VT is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games.

VT proved their toughness to me when they went on the road and beat UNC and Nebraska back-to-back.

VT has won 4 of the last 5 meetings in this series and won 44-14 last year, in a game I clearly remember. Beamer shamed the clumsy Shannon in play-calling.

VT has forced 20 turovers this year, and Miami has forced only 3 INTs all year. Miami has only 18 sacks all year, tied for 7th in the league. Look for Glennon to scamper out of the pocket frequently for big gains.

If VT loses this game, it will be due to a FG in OT.

VT +4.5

One more note about this game......

If it's tight like I expect it to be, a good FG kicker certainly helps.

Team Report following VT's win over Maryland

"PK Dustin Keys made all three of his field-goal attempts to increase his season total to 19. He is only three field goals shy of the single-season school record of 22 set by Chris Kinzer (1986) and Shayne Graham (1998)."

I agree with you completely. This should be a total defensive game from start to finnish. It has a 3 point win eother way written all over it.
