Virginia Tech Football: Hokies Close as One-Score Underdogs vs No. 23 Clemson
Virginia Tech opens their second game this year as an underdog, after performing incredibly well in their first game as an underdog against Miami. With a win, Virginia Tech could clinch bowl eligibility, and keep some extreme outside hopes of getting to the ACC Championship alive with a win. According to DraftKings Sportsbook the Tigers are favored by 6 points as kickoff nears. The total is listed at 53 points.
Now, the Hokies will look to break Clemson’s six-game win streak as Virginia Tech may have Kyron Drones and Bhayshul Tuten in the backfield. Both of Virginia Tech’s star players in the backfield have been labeled as probable, but are not guaranteed to to play against the Tigers.
Virginia Tech’s home field advantage could play a key role in this matchup, and an upset is certainly possible, as the Hokies would like to keep their slim ACC Championship odds alive.
