Game# 763-764
Play On: Syracuse +6.5 (5*)

Virginia Tech is coming off a 3-point home win versus Duke and barely covered as a 2.5-point favorite. That snapped an 0-7 SU&ATS skid. One of those losses came at Syracuse 82-72 in a game they closed as a 2.5-point favorite. The Hokies have allowed 70 points or more in 4 of their last 5 and 6 of its previous 8.

Syracuse has shot 50% or better in 4 of their last 5 while scoring 78 points or more 4 times. Syracuse is 6-4 SU in ACC action and their 4 losses have all come by 7 points or fewer and 3 were by 3 or less. The Orange are a respectable 3-2 in ACC road games this season. Syracuse let one slip away in a 4-point home loss to North Carolina this past Tuesday. However, Syracuse is 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 when coming off a loss and won by an average of 10.5 points per game.

Virginia Tech still can possibly get their revenge and get back on a winning track without covering. But this game will go right down to the wire, and I wouldn’t be shocked whatsoever to see an outright upset. Nonetheless, no need to get greedy and give me Syracuse plus the points.
