Virginia Tech vs. Duke: How to Watch, Odds & History

It’s hard to believe, but we are in the next to last game week for the Virginia Tech football team. After a bye last weekend, the Hokies will hit the road looking for a sixth win to become bowl-eligible at Duke. It will be a primetime kick-off and an interesting matchup, to say the least.

Duke enters the game 7-3, also off of their second bye, and the Hokies are a frustrating 5-5. It’s simple, the Blur Devils will be looking to improve their bowl while Virginia Tech is just looking to extend their season beyond next weekend’s battle with Virginia. There are a lot of questions surrounding Brent Pry’s team at the moment with injuries and who can play and who can’t will go a long way into the Hokies enjoying their ride back from Durham, N.C. or not.
