VA Tech is entering this game with a 2-6 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 5th home game of the season as they are 2-2 in their home games this year. This will also be the 6th conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 1-4. They lost against the NC State Wolfpack in their last game on the road 22-21.

Alan Tisdale and Jaylen Griffin each led the defense in sacks with 1 while no one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have VA Tech listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. VA Tech hasn't looked very good in a lot of games this season but they really looked good in their last game as they almost beat NC State on the road, losing by 1 point in the end. Their defense was in control of that game though and their offense was moving the ball well too which is something they haven't been doing well all season. GA Tech hasn't been having a great season either but they also haven't looked great in their games lately. They were bad to start the season and then got a bit of a boost when they fired their coach as they started to win some games, but they have gone back to their losing ways now and they have been losing games in blowout losses. VA Tech has a very good defense and it is already going to be hard for this struggling GA Tech offense to put up points in this game. VA Tech is also starting to move the ball much better on offense themselves and they will be tough for GA Tech to stop here on the road with how bad they have been lately. The best way to place a bet here is on VA Tech to cover the spread in this game.
