Rutgers vs. Virginia Tech – Prediction, Tips, Odds
According to Action Network on September 20, Virginia Tech is the favorite by 3.5 points.
Over/Under: Over 44.5 (-112), Under 44.5 (-108)
Money line: Rutgers +138, Virginia Tech -163
Virginia Tech entered the season with high expectations, but the Hokies have not been able to meet that standard – at least not yet. Rutgers’ offense has performed well, and if they run the ball effectively and the defense can do enough to limit drones, the Scarlet Knights have a good chance of moving to 3-0.
