One for me VT -13 2 Units
I typically like to take the points at home on these mid week games but I think there is a real perception issue with both of these teams. They both played national midweek games last week and ECU rolled a Memphis team that couldn't hold on to the ball and couldn't hold on dive plays. VT on the other hand was a little sloppy on O in tough conditions and gave up a few costly big plays to hand them the L. Neither team played as good or poorly as the final score but I think that kept this line down a few points. I expect VT to perform more like to form and like a top 10 team tonight. If they show up, their physical play should be able to dominate the trenches against ECU and Pickney is definitely a player who is prone to mistakes when he is forced into them. Taylor should also have a little more time this week as his OL is more than capable of protecting him while not facing players with the physical attrributes of UNC.
