Good morning and happy Saturday, November 30th. We’re closing out November and preparing for the final chapter of 2024, but you know what that means — it’s time to put a bet on the board. Today we’ll be providing our free college football expert pick — via the immortal Ben Rasa — by looking at our Virginia Tech-Virginia betting breakdown.
Recap of Recent Plays
Yesterday was a wild day on the betting card. Iowa delivered a greasy push, but no harm, no foul. Overall, it was a solid day, and I’m happy with the run we’re on. The Georgia game last night? One of the craziest games I’ve ever seen—if you were in our Discord, you know what I mean. If not, you missed a fun sweat, but it’s never too late to the action.

Virginia Tech-Virginia Betting Breakdown
Tonight’s Bet: Virginia Tech Hokies -7
Now, let’s get to the board. Tonight, I’m backing the Virginia Tech Hokies -7 at -110 on Caesars. Full disclosure: this game is riddled with unknowns, so if uncertainty isn’t your thing, you might want to skip this bet or check Discord for alternative plays.
Breaking Down Virginia
Virginia has had some moments this season, but overall, they don’t inspire much confidence. Their rushing attack is non-existent, and their defense is average at best. Add injuries to key skill players and their leading tackler, and it’s tough to see them holding up. Quarterback Colin Drake has been serviceable, but this team just feels like a middling unit without a strong identity.
Virginia Tech’s Challenges and Upside
Virginia Tech, on the other hand, hasn’t had the season I expected. Injuries have plagued their offense, including quarterback Grant Wells and his backups. That leaves them with Pop Watson, a redshirt freshman who got some action last week against Duke.
Here’s the thing: even if Watson is the starter, I’m okay with it. He’s inexperienced but was a highly recruited dual-threat QB. Playing at home, under the lights, should give him a boost.
Virginia Tech’s defense remains intact and should dominate the trenches, stifling Virginia’s lackluster offense. The Hokies have enough pieces to get the job done, and their home-field advantage can’t be overstated in a rivalry game.
Why Bet This Game?
This is a calculated risk. At -7, I think the line is fair even with the uncertainty at quarterback. If we get positive news about the QB situation, the line could move in our favor, providing excellent closing line value. If you’re willing to take on some risk, this is a spot worth betting.
