Virginia Tech -3.5 at -110
Hokies' run defense will benefit from facing a team that lacks a running quarterback (like last week, like last year's Rutgers game). This will make it easy to lock in on Rutgers' running back. With depth on the defensive line, they'll keep him from wearing them down. Scheme and personnel suit the Hokies' run defense here.
On the other side, Rutgers has had super soft competition but ranks 125th at limiting YPC. Hokies will be able to thrive on the ground while also making use of Drones' much improved passing at home and its talented and deep wide receiver group.
Hokies will win by having the more balanced offense.
ML Parlay: Syracuse (-350), Nebraska (-350), USC (-205), Washington (-410) at +206
USC just faced a dual-threat quarterback (48-0 win over Utah State). Michigan even without Loveland is surely more talented, but I don't think Oriji can take the top off USC's defense. And then USC's offense has so many weapons + Lincoln Riley against a not so deep Michigan defense.
The other teams are just from my impression of things.
If the parlay loses on Friday night then I can reload on Saturday.
