What the Duke Point Spread Tells Me About Virginia Tech

I enjoy making a wager from time to time. I win some, I lose some. I have fun.Check out my “Bet the Mortgage” articles to see how I generally fair. I look at all the college football lines, not just Virginia Tech. This line scares the heck out me. Why Tech is favored on the road with al the injury questions is perplexing. Generally, in college football, home field advantage is worth three points. Virginia Tech being at -3, is essentially a +6 for the Duke Blue Devils. What do the sharps know that we don’t? It’s fair to say that the Brent Pry staff plays shell games with injuries. I don’t blame him one bit. I would do the same exact thing. Case in point, Drones was going through normal pregame warmups against Syracuse only to have Collin Schlee get the start. They seem to use a lot of valuable time with misdirection and subterfuge. This is why the line scares me. How is Drones? How is Tuten? That’s the key for me for this ballgame.

I think it’s safe to say that the Hokies are not the same team without Kyron Drones and Bhayshul Tuten. What have the sharps seen to lead them to believe that Tech is a favorite? Information is key in gambling, and it gives me some hope for a positive result on Saturday night. I’m pretty certain we won’t get in a shootout with the Devils, but if Tuten is out or hampered, I’m not sure Drones can take over a game. My advice to the Hokies gambling community is pretty straightforward: stay away from this game. It will just piss you off either way. Virginia Tech is so damn unpredictable that it would confuse any of the most savvy gamblers. If anything, just enjoy the ballgame, make some crockpot chili, drink some brown water, and get on facebook after the loss.
