2009 Virginia Tech Football Betting Odds: Over 9½ Wins +125 , Under 9½ Wins -165
Everyone in and around college football is predicting Virginia Tech to win the ACC Championship. In fact, the Hokies have been rated seventh in the country by the latest Pre-Season Coaches Poll that came out earlier this week. Last year, the Hokies were very young as they only returned 10 starters from 2007 but still found a way to not only win the ACC Championship game but also won a BCS Bowl game. With 16 returning starters coming back from a very good team last year, expectations in Hokie land are very high as they should be. However, if the Hokies are going to have a chance at a National Championship, the offense must improve as they have finished 99th or worse the past three seasons. Much of their offensive success will depend on their quarterback Tyrod Taylor who is finally the undisputed starter. He can run no doubt about it, but he has to be more efficient as a passer if he is going to carry this team to where they want to go. The defense returns seven starters and should be very good up front as they return three starting defensive lineman.
The question mark on the defensive side of the ball is at linebacker where they will be breaking in two new starters. All in all, this is going to be a very good team and I think they will win their third straight ACC Championship but I don’t think they are good enough to win it all. They could open the season with a loss against Alabama but the rest of their real tough games come at home. They play Nebraska, Miami, Boston College, North Carolina, and NC State all in Blacksburg. I will call for the Hokies to finish at 10-2 and predict them to go over the posted total of 9½ wins.
