NBC Sports Bet Best Bets for Rutgers vs. Virginia Tech
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is siding with the under in this game…
“Surprisingly, both teams were OVER teams last season. However, with both towards the bottom of the league in rush rate, we should expect this game to be slow-paced, where the clock bleeds. Defensively, both should keep this from getting out of hand. It may be a sweaty under, but the under is the move.”
