Best College Football Bets for Friday: Pittsburgh vs. Virginia Tech
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Virginia Tech Hokies
The Virginia Tech Hokies have turned things around with the hiring of James Franklin. He’s got the Hokies at 4-0 and is believing in an ACC Championship.
They’ll be home tonight, but it won’t be easy against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is also 4-0 and ranks 16th in passing PPSA behind Mason Heintschel. On the other hand, Virginia Tech ranks 73rd defensively. Pittsburgh should pass the ball well tonight. However, running the ball won’t be as easy. Look for early passes out of Pittsburgh.
On the flip side, Pittsburgh currently ranks in the top ten in overall defense with a rating of 64.6. Even at home, Virginia Tech might see some drives stall. The only thing hurting Pittsburgh’s defense right now is allowing explosive plays. However, Virginia Tech hasn’t allowed many of those so that I wouldn’t worry too much.
I’ll take Pittsburgh at +2.5 (-115).
