Key Factors to Consider
- Miami has been dominant this season, averaging 52.4 points per game and coming off a 41-7 win over N.C. State. Their offense is balanced, with strong rushing and passing stats. Virginia Tech, on the other hand, has struggled, averaging 52.5 points per game but with a weak defense, allowing 32.0 points per game. The Hokies are 1-4 in their last five games and 1-4 ATS in that span, indicating poor form and difficulty covering spreads.
- Miami leads the all-time series 25-15 and has historically dominated Virginia Tech, especially in recent matchups. The Hurricanes have won the last several meetings, often by large margins.
- No major injuries have been reported for either team as of the latest updates. Both squads are expected to field their starting lineups.
- The game will be played at Lane Stadium, where Virginia Tech has a 2-4 home record this season. Weather is expected to be mild, with no rain and light winds, providing optimal playing conditions. The Hokies are coming off a midseason coaching change, which has led to a decline in performance.
- Miami is still in contention for the ACC title and is motivated to secure a strong finish to the regular season. Virginia Tech, with a losing record and a coaching change, is playing for pride and to avoid a losing season.
