Pro Picks
Virginia Tech at Pittsburgh
It is hard to visualize Virginia Tech staying in this game with an offense that has struggled all season. They managed a season-high 27 vs FCS Wofford, and in their 4 FBS games, they have managed 64 points in four games or 16 PPG. The Hokies are averaging 261 yards per game vs 3 P5 opponents on the season. The Hokies do have an above-average defense, while Pittsburgh has generated better offense than expected. The question is this. Can Virginia hold down Pittsburgh enough, and generate enough offense to squeeze out the cover? History says yes. Conference road dogs with a total of 46 points or fewer and a line of greater than 5 points are 328-216-18 ATS. Taking sizable dogs with a strong defense is the theme and applies here. Make the play on Virginia Tech.

Pro Picks
Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech
The Virginia Tech Hokies have gotten better with each passing game and come into their game against Pittsburgh at 7-3. The 7-3 record includes 5-1 in their last six with the only loss coming by a single point vs. Notre Dame. The Tech offense has elevated since the beginning of the season and has gained 450+ yards in four of its last five and will be a true test for the strong Pitt defense. It hasn't been all offense for Virginia Tech as the defense has held its last three opponents to less than 13 points per game. Pitt has also won five of its last six and the biggest difference in this one is the Virginia Tech offense has been much better and much more consistent than Pitt. The defenses are both on the same level, but the Hokies can move the ball. Back Virginia Tech as a Max Play.
