Virginia Tech Trying Again For Sixth Win

Virginia Tech was 5-3 at the end of October. Since then, they have lost two straight games to begin the month of November, falling to Syracuse and Clemson to drop to 5-5 on the year. Now the Hokies need to at least split their last two games of the regular season to get to six wins and make it to bowl season. For Virginia Tech to get a win this week, they are going to need to show up on offense. Last time out, the Hokies mustered just 14 points in a loss to Clemson. After a week off, it will be interesting to see if the Virginia Tech offense can answer the bell and get the team to bowl season.

Duke Looks to Get Back Above .500 In ACC Play

Duke has already made it to bowl season, as they are 7-3 overall and 3-3 in the ACC this season. They have lost two of their last three games, but those losses came to two of the teams still in ACC championship contention in Miami and SMU. This week, Duke is at home, where they are 4-1 on the season with their only home loss coming in overtime against the aforementioned SMU Mustangs. If Duke's defense can stand tall at home again in this game, they could move back above the .500 mark in conference play.

Virginia Tech vs Duke Prediction

We anticipate that the third time will be the charm for Virginia Tech, as they should win and cover the spread as a favorite in this Virginia Tech vs Duke game. The Hokies will take advantage of their late-season idle week and come out looking recharged against a Duke team that doesn't have much to play for heading into bowl season. Look for the Hokies to get to six wins with a victory here and for them to not need their regular season finale against Virginia to become bowl-eligible.
