Predict the opening betting line for the Rutgers-VT game. It will be posted after the conclusion of the VT Old Dominion game on Saturday.

I'm going to predict VT minus 7

Will be very interesting to see what ODU does against VT. ODU hung tough with SC who hammered Kentucky, and lost a close game to ECU who is a strong AAC team.

So if someone predicts the score of the VT-ODU game, I'll predict the RU line based on that!

No way to even guess until the ODU game. A part of me wants to see VT win just so, if and when we beat them, it is a "quality" win. And a part of me just wants to see them lose and be exposed. Even though, that would mean that even our fans would again say we didn't beat anyone. lol

Vegas seems to have a ton of respect for VT.

They are favored by 14 playing on the road against a team that lost 23-19 at South Carolina. Kansas is only favored by 7 at home against UNLV. I’d expect similar spreads on those games.

RU -3
VT is not going to cover this weekend vs. ODU… closer game than most think. VT has not covered yet.
And our Offense is a lot better than one VT played last year.

RU -2. If home field is 3 pts on average, do those saying VT -3.5 or more really think VT would be favored over us at a neutral site?

With the hype surrounding Tech and them being home, I’d like to think they’d be favored by over a touchdown. With them being 1-1, I’d say that VT -3.5 sounds about right. If they lose to ODU this weekend, we’ll be favored by 6.5 or so.
 
I figure it will be 50/50, and then since it is being played in such a loud hostile environment they will give Rutgers 6.5 points. Rutgers hasn't really played anyone yet.
 
Tech will be favored. Going -4

So it’s a really hard line to predict without week 3 outcomes.

Vegas clearly thinks Vandy is pretty decent, Mike Houston’s group sucks and OD’s close game with SC (who definitely doesn’t suck) was a fluke. There’s no other way to explain the 14 point line with VTech as a road favorite. If those teams have a bad week and VTech doesn’t look good - the spread will look way different and in that case we could even be a slight favorite. Otherwise the opposite.
