Be mindful that some of these lines may have moved since earlier in the week. Any questions, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @dedgesportpicks
Virginia at NC St -6
Bryce Perkins leads Virginia into NC St territory this week. The dual threat QB and offense has been balanced overall this year averaging 218 passing yards and 216 rushing yards per game.
NC St’s defense needs to show up this week and be well disciplined. If they can contain Perkins and make someone else beat them they should rise to the occasion. Ryan Finley is having another outstanding year that should continue here against a decent Virginia defense.
The last time Virginia played a road game against a power 5 team they only mustered 16 points at Indiana and lost the game 20-16. I believe this NC St squad is better than Indiana and should pull this one out. Take NC St -6.
Virginia Tech at Duke -5
Virginia Tech is coming off a game where they lost to Old Dominion as a huge favorite. That should have lit a fire under their butts. However, they lost QB Josh Jackson and will have to turn to their backup.
Duke is coming into this game undefeated, even after losing QB Daniel Jones.Quentin Harris has filled that role admirably and their defense has played well also. Take Duke -5.
Bowling Green at Georgia Tech O/U65.5
A bad Bowling Green team comes into Atlanta to face Georgia Tech. Bowling Green has mostly been in the mid teens to 20s for points in their past games.
This could be a little bit of a look ahead spot for GT as they go on the road to face Louisville next week in a conference game. They have the tools to get a big lead and then run clock with the triple option to get out with a win and without injuries. This could be somewhere around a 35-20 type game. Take UNDER 65.5.
