Virginia Tech (6-3, 3-5 ATS) at Miami, Fla. (6-3, 5-3 ATS)
Miami looks to keep its winning surge going when it takes on Virginia Tech in an ACC clash at Dolphin Stadium.
The Hurricanes, who had a bye last weekend, rallied past Virginia 24-17 in overtime on Nov. 1 as a one-point road pup for their fourth consecutive win (3-1 ATS). QB Jacory Harris (12 of 21, 160 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs) rallied the ‘Canes by throwing a tying TD pass in the final minute of the fourth quarter, then hitting Aldarius Johnson with a 9-yard TD pass to open overtime. Miami lost the turnover battle 3-1 but it made that one turnover count, stripping the ball from Virginia tailback Cedrick Peerman on the Cavaliers’ first offensive play of overtime to end the game.
The Hokies beat Maryland 23-13 laying three points at home last Thursday, snapping a two-game SU skid and a three-game ATS nosedive. Virginia Tech racked up 400 total yards, including a whopping 273 on the ground behind RB Darren Evans (32 carries, 254 yards, 1 TD), and the Hokies allowed just 229 yards. That led to a 15-minute advantage in time of possession.
These teams feature two of the better defenses in the country, with Miami allowing 283.1 ypg (12th) and Va-Tech yielding 295.9 (19th).
Virginia Tech has won and cashed in the last two meetings between these schools and is on a 6-1 ATS run in the last seven contests. The Hokies are also 5-1 ATS in the last six clashes in Miami, and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven matchups.
The Hurricanes are on ATS runs of 4-1 after a SU win and 5-2 against winning teams, but they are in pointspread ruts of 1-11 coming off a bye, 5-16-1 at home, 8-22 after a spread-cover and 7-15-1 in ACC contests. On the flip side, the Hokies sport positive ATS streaks of 19-7 on the highway, 25-9 inside the ACC, 10-1 in November and 13-4 on Thursdays.
For Miami, the under is on streaks of 26-9 at home, 8-2 on Thursday and 21-7 in November, and Va-Tech has stayed under the total in eight consecutive Thursday night outings. In addition, the total has stayed low in four of the last five meetings in this rivalry.
