Clemson vs Virginia Tech ATS Pick: Virginia Tech +2

After reviewing the early lines at the major online sports betting sites like BetUS, we’re a bit surprised to see the hometown Hokies as the slight underdog. We should point out that the oddsmakers are already skewing this college basketball line with the public in mind because Clemson boasts a better record (11-3 vs. 9-5) while the Tigers have also covered the number in their last four meetings with Virginia Tech.

That last one is the big stat that will lure the unsuspecting squares into the wolf’s den because if we look a bit deeper, we find out that Clemson was an underdog in all four of those games that were decided by a 2.25 average margin of victory.

But now Tech is the underdog and the two points could be critical to covering the number, but I believe the Hokies will win this one outright. Many of the college basketball expert picks I’ve been reading regarding this game keep pointing to the Hokies’ solid defense as being a major factor in this one.

The Hokies allow 66 points per game while the Tigers surrender over 71. That five-point differential could make a big difference, especially when we have two teams that are not only familiar with each other as conference rivals but have played so competitively over the last several meetings.

Virginia Tech is extremely muscular on the boards on the defensive end, ranked 41st in the nation out of 351 D-1 teams, which means the Tigers will get precious few second looks. Defense wins this game, which is why the Hokies are a live home hound on Wednesday night.

Team Prop Pick: Joseph Girard Under 15 Points (-110)

This will be a defensive battle and the Hokies will make the Tigers earn every point. Girard was held to just five points in his last outing against the Tar Heels and 15 points tonight seems too much for him to score in this one.
