TOM STRYKER’S FREE FOOTBALL SELECTION FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST
#322 SYRACUSE (+4) over Virginia Tech at 12 PM EST
After getting clocked at Pittsburgh by the final of 41-13, Syracuse will return home and give Virginia Tech all it can handle in this ACC showdown. The Hokies enter this contest off three straight wins and covers over the Cardinal, Eagles, and Yellow Jackets, and they are in prime position to fall here.
If the blemish to the Panthers won’t have the Orangemen fired up for this contest, then the memory of last year’s 38-10 loss to the Hokies will certainly have head coach Fran Brown and his men focused for this rematch. Historically speaking, the home team has dominated this series posting a profitable 13-3 SU and ATS mark in the last 16 meetings. Equally impressive, when hosting an opponent that storms the field with confidence off back-to-back SU and ATS wins, the ‘Cuse has performed extremely well notching a powerful 22-13 SU and 23-12 ATS record. In this situation priced as a favorite or an underdog of +11 or less, the Orange improve to a healthy 20-8 SU and 21-7 ATS.
There is a strong conference angle that works against the Hokies, too. Since 1980, ACC road favorites own a surprising 117-178-10 ATS provided they are battling a conference foe that checks in without momentum off a SU and ATS loss. If our “play against” guest is going into revenge, this ACC situation crashes to a stiff 71-126-6 ATS including a disturbing 21-59 ATS provided their opponent holds a team won/loss percentage of .500 or better. With those three parameters in play and our “play against” side checking in off a conference game, this ACC trend crashes to a horrible 12-51 ATS. That spells trouble for Tech.
After tossing five interceptions last week, Orangemen quarterback Kyle McCord will bounce back from that dismal performance and key this upset victory. Take Syracuse. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
