Virginia Tech vs Wofford Prediction: Over 48.5
Virginia Tech has demonstrated a pattern of hitting the over, especially when favored, with a 5-0 record in their last five games as the favorite. Additionally, they have consistently gone over in games following a loss, which bodes well for a high-scoring affair against Wofford. This trend suggests that the Hokies will look to capitalize on their offensive capabilities to bounce back from recent defeats.
The Wofford Terriers, while not a high-ranking offensive team, allow a significant number of points against them, as evidenced by their previous performances. Their defense has struggled to contain opponents, which could open the door for Virginia Tech to exploit these weaknesses and score multiple touchdowns. This scenario supports the expectation of a high total score in the game.
Virginia Tech’s most recent game ended in a high-scoring 26-45 loss to Old Dominion, indicating their vulnerability on defense and potential for offensive output. Given their home record and betting trends, the Hokies are likely to continue their over streak in this game. The current total set at 48.5 seems attainable given both teams’ defensive lapses and Virginia Tech’s offensive potential.
With Virginia Tech’s offense ready to bounce back and Wofford’s defense likely to concede points, the projection points to a scoreline exceeding 48.5. We anticipate a final score with Virginia Tech taking a decisive lead while Wofford contributes enough points to push the total over.
