Virginia Tech at Duke 10/3/20 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Virginia Tech Hokies are playing against the Duke Blue Devils at Wallace Wade Stadium. The Hokie are 1-0 this year, following a 21-point win against the North Carolina State Wolfpack. The Blue Devils are 0-3 this year, following an 18-point loss against the Virginia Cavaliers. Virginia Tech had 495 yards of total offense in their last game. The Duke Blue Devils are giving up 425 yards a game. Duke will need to step it up if they want to get their first win of the season.

The Virginia Tech Hokies are averaging 314 rushing yards and will look to run all over this Duke Blue Devil team, who has struggled against the run. The Hokies are led by senior running back, Khalil Herbert. Herbert had 104 rushing yards and a touchdown in the Hokies win against North Carolina State. Virginia Tech will look to get Herbert going early in this one.

The Duke Blue Devils have been having a terrible year and they will try to right the ship against a team that has only played one game. The Blue Devils are led by senior running back, Deon Jackson. Jackson is averaging 4 yards per carry and the offense leans on him. Duke will need to figure out some kind of offense if they want to win their first game.

In this matchup I like the Virginia Tech Hokies to win and cover the spread. The Hokies will be able to run all over this Duke team and Duke will not be able to keep up. Virginia Tech will have to not overlook this Blue Devil squad so they will not drop a game they should not. Final score prediction, Virginia Tech Hokies will win and cover the spread 38-21.
