30 DIMER - VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES
2 straight losses, and the Hokies are certainly not where they thought they would be coming into this Thursday night tussle, but after laying an egg at home under the light last week against North Carolina, look for V-Tech to get their season back on track tonight against East Carolina.
First off, North Carolina's defense is as tough as they come, so Tech should be all set to take advantage of ECU's less-stingy stop-unit. For another thing, East Carolina's QB Pinkney has thrown 8 TD passes this season against 9 interceptions, so chances the Tech defense has a feast this week are pretty strong.
Also consider this is a big revenge spot for the Hokies who were stunned on opening day last season 27-22 at home against the Pirates as the 9-point favorite.
Frank Beamer owns a 7-1 spread mark the last 8 times his Hokies have been in revenge.
Believe me, there is a reason the Pirates who are 20-7 against the spread their last 27 when dressed as the dog are catching this many points at home under the prime time lights. Granted, the points are tempting, but the linesmakers are telling you the play in this game is Virginia Tech. Have to side with the revenging visitors to get the job done tonight.
10 DIMER - TEMPLE OWLS
There is a threat of some nasty weather in Philadelphia for this game, but I think that will only aid the Owls in their quest for win # 7 in a row.
Temple relies on the ground attack, and RB Bernard Pierce is already over 1,000 yards on the ground this season, as he rumbled for well over 200 yards against Navy last week!
Miami-Ohio is off their 1st straight up win of the year, but are only 1-6 against the spread their last 7 away from home.
Lesser Temple teams have beaten the Redhawks both straight up, and against the spread the last 2 season's. Expect this year's Temple team to do the same.
Lay the wood with the Owls!
