No. 2 Virginia Tech -4.5 Over Pitt
Spread: Virginia Tech by 4.5
Last Week: Virginia Tech Won 37-16 Over Miami, Pitt Had Bye Week
Why Virginia Tech Covers: After a slip up against Syracuse, Virginia Tech recovered nicely last week with a blowout win over Miami. This week, they face a Pitt team that is just 2-5 against the spread. While they have a 5-2 record overall, the Panthers have taken advantage of beating bad teams. Virginia Tech is the better team in this matchup and the metrics prove that. The Hokies are ranked 12th in the S&P+ rankings while the Panthers are ranked 33rd. The OddsShark computer is projecting an 8 point victory for Virginia Tech backing my belief in the Hokies to perform well in this matchup. (Getty)
