Date/Time: Thu, Nov 8 / 07:11:00 PM ET, Lane Stadium, BLACKSBURG, VAMost sports bettors think Virginia Tech doesn’t stand a chance against Florida State tonight. On the surface, that’s a bit surprising, considering they’re 11-3 in Thursday night home games. And they’re 4-0 at Lane Stadium so far this college football season.
Yet they’re still huge underdogs—we’re talking double digits according to Sports Betting Online's latest college football odds. That’s probably because they’re facing off against Florida State, who is in need of just two wins to make another bowl game.
That, and the fact that the Hokies are 4-5 overall, and 2-3 in-conference. They enter the game against FSU with back-to-back losses, including last week’s 30-12 beating by Miami-Florida. But those following NCAA football should note that the Hokies can move the ball. They’ve average over 400 yards per game this season.
That said, they can’t seem to take care of the ball, thanks in large part to QB Logan Thomas who has completed just 53.3 percent of his passes for 2109 yards. He’s thrown 13 TDs passes, but he also has 12 interceptions.
Florida State has an incredible ability to put extreme pressure on opposing QBs with just four pass rushers. That’s thanks in no small part to Bjoern Werner and Cornellius Carradine, who lead the ACC with eight sacks each. And, of course, left tackle Nick Becton and right tackle Vinston Painter excel at slowing things down.
Virginia State QB Logan Thomas hasn’t responded well to pressure so far. And the team hasn’t found a solid running back who can be counted on to pick up yards on a regular basis.
Game Odds:
Florida Sate Seminoles: -13.5-110, ML -500
Virginia Tech Hokies: +13.5-110, ML +400
Game Total: 50, o/u-110
The Hokies will need their offensive line to pave the way for a solid running game in order to stop Florida State from dominating them with their ridiculous defensive line.
