*10* MASSACRE on Virginia Tech.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish shot out the lights in a 95-91 upset win at Duke on Saturday, but I wouldn't be surprised if they suffer a let down here as a double-digit home favorite tonight. They will host a Virginia Tech team that has won four of five, and my money is on the Hokies plus the points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Hokies are coming off an upset win on the road at Georgia Tech, and they've covered the spread in four of their last five games against teams with a winning record. They are also 6-1 ATS in their last seven versus ACC teams.

2. Home Cookin' - The Irish haven't been a great bet at home, failing to cover in five straight at South Bend. Their last home game was a 72-64 win over Georgia Tech, the same Yellow Jacket team that the Hokies beat three days later.

3. X-Factor - The Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Selection: This is a play on the Virginia Tech Hokies (10*)
