Double-dime bet341 Virginia Tech 4.5 (-110) BetOnline vs 342 Duke
Analysis: I'm taking the points with VA Tech on Saturday. Revenge will be on the minds for the Hokies after losing last year's game 13-10 at home. The final score didn't tell the entire story as the Hokies out-gained Duke, 387-198. VA Tech was a 12-point favorite in that one and this week they're getting points. Duke is off a 27-10 win over Syracuse, another misleading final score. I had the Orange, unfortunately, and the game was tied at 10 in the fourth quarter. Duke then scored on a punt return, a 16-yard drive, and on a 54-yard pass when the game was all but over. Duke gained a grand total of just 259 yards on just 3.92 yards per play. The Blue Devils have played a very soft slate and since losing 22-10 to their stiffest opposition, Miami, they have eked out wins over Ga Tech, Virginia, a double-OT win over Pitt, and the misleading win over Syracuse. I'm betting the good fortune ends against a VA Tech squad still in search of bowl eligibility at 4-5 SU. The Hokies rank 9th on defense against the pass and 30th in total defense and they've had two weeks to prep for this game. VA Tech is 13-4 ATS as a road underdog of 3 1/2 to 7. I expect another winner here. I'm grabbing the points with VA Tech, my DogPound release. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Triple-dime bet376 Marshall -21.0 (-113) BetOnline vs 375 Rice
Analysis: I'm laying the points with Marshall on Saturday afternoon. The Thundering Herd remains perfect as they head into the home contest against Rice. The Herd not only looks to remain perfect, but also looks to gain a measure of revenge after losing 41-24 to the Owls in last season's conference championship game. Marshall is playing great football on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Rice has been winning a few games themselves. The Owls lost their first three games of the season to Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and Old Dominion, allowing 48, 38, and 45 points in the process. They have since won six straight games both SU and ATS, but the schedule has been filled with cupcakes. The step-up in competition is going to be tough to deal with in this one and we believe the Owls will fail. The Rice defense got crushed in the three losses, allowing 528 yards per game on 8.47 yards per play! They allowed 345 yards passing per game on 10.55 yards per attempt with 11 TDs and just 1 INT in 98 passes. The run defense was an equal opportunity offender, allowing 6.17 yards per carry. The Herd has the offense to make Rice pay for their shortcomings on defense and we'll lay the big points. Marshall enters on a 13-1-1 ATS run at home against teams with a winning road record. The Thundering Herd are also backed by a 24-4 CFB-wide situation backing favorites of more than 21 points and less than 31 1/2 points, if they're averaging at least 6.2 yards per play and are facing a defense that allows 4.8-5.6 yards per play, provided the favorite has gained at least 7.25 yards per play over the previous two games. Marshall fits. And the angles are just the icing on the cake in what I believe will be a mismatch. I'm laying the points with Marshall, my Tapout on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
