This is the only bowl game I am playing. This line is a huge overreaction to Tech's loss to FSU in the ACC Championship game. Louisville is very tough at home, but on the road they have been nothing special this year. VT is going to be hungry to get back some respect, and Louisville is in a very bad spot here IMO. Last time VT lost and got embarassed by Miami, they came back the next week and hammered Virginia. The line on that one was -7.5 also, whereas it should've been 13 or so, but the loss dropped the public perception that VT was among the elite teams in the nation. I look for Frank Beamer's squad to be the hungrier team here against a team that has not really been anything special this year, and played a much weaker schedule (only one game against ranked opponent). Not to mention the Hokies travel well, and will have home-crowd advantage. They will be doing the Hokie Pokie all the way out of Alltel stadium.
There have only been 3 games I have played bigger than this one.
Tenn +7 @ LSU (got lucky)
Auburn +6 @ LSU
Auburn +3 and ml @ UGA
