Virginia Tech Hokies (+2.5) @ North Carolina Tar Heels
North Carolina beats up Rutgers and now they are a favorite over Virginia Tech? I don’t get it. Sure, the Hokies lost at home to a good East Carolina team but they beat Georgia Tech on their own turf last weekend. Virginia Tech has won the last four games between these teams and showed last year that they have the ability to improve as the season progresses.
And while North Carolina’s 44-12 win over Rutgers looks impressive, it should be known that Rutgers actually had more yards of total offense in the game. North Carolina won thanks to four interceptions and you can’t count on the defense forcing that many turnovers this week.
