The 13th-ranked and NCAAF odds favorite Virginia Tech Hokies (3-0) will look to remain unbeaten while covering the huge spread as nearly four-touchdown home favorites when they host, for the first time, a clearly over-matched Old Dominion Monarchs (2-1) team in College Football Week 4 on Saturday.
If you’re wondering whether or not the Hokies can win and cash in, then you’re going to enjoy this expert analysis and prediction on this Week 4 pairing. Now, let’s find out if Virginia Tech can cover the NCAAF betting lines.
“I just felt like the energy lifted up on our sideline,” Wilder said. “It felt like everybody rallied around him.”
The Monarchs allowed 511 total yards to North Carolina in Saturday’s loss as they get set to face the first nationally-ranked opponent since joining the FBS four years ago.
“We’ve played some really good ones, but I think Virginia Tech is by far the best team we’ve ever played,” Wilder said. “This will be a monumental task on Saturday but one we’ll be excited for.”
Running Back Ray Lawry (Hamstring), Defensive Tackle Ryan Londree (ankle), Defensive Back Kane Miskel (knee), and Safety Rob Thompson (groin) appears on the injury report, but Lawry is the only one who’s out indefinitely.
