To me college football wagering is one part match ups and two parts emotion. I figure over the long run setting a number better then the book based on match ups is impossible. So I focus on emotions and intangibles, the psychology of the game if you will.

This is what I know.

VT played a Monday night game barely losing to Boise. It was a devastating loss and huge game. Players tend not to respond well to that situation. It probably took them at least until Wednesday to let go of the mental replays if not longer. Odds are they didn't even think they needed to show up vs JM.

James Madison has a great relationship with VT. They allow Madison to tape scrimmages. They share film. JM is like VT's little brother. Why? Why not. Beemers a good guy and he want's to help his fellow coach. He provided JM with so much over the years that Madison's HC joked, "I know every play they're going to run. I know the signals. But it sure as heck didn't matter the last few years."

So here is a VT as disinterested as possible vs a JM team with several more days to prepare, inside knowledge, a potential NC threat, and salivating to play.

The US did beat Russia didn't they?

The point is VT walked into the perfect storm.

Now every talking head has called them out for a week. A situation that usually drives a team into a frenzy of emotion. It's make or break time. VT will not let off the gas Saturday. ECU has played them well over the years but it was always ECU who was trying to make the statement not VT, and for as young as VT is on D, ECU is just awful on that side.

VT in a route 48-17

Lu's assessment is that the vast superiority that VT has had over ECU is not there this year, that ECU is going to bring it also, and that VT won't be able to dictate the game. Will be interesting, only time will tell whose read is more accurate.

LU - New to the thread. Wow, as far as everything that has gone down so far. Please accept my friend request.

Respect your pick but I think some of these newbie followers will be overconfident and throw money management out the window. Once a pick loses and they lost everything, they'll come back on here cussing you out and begging you to bail them out with the next pick...just my 2 cents...

I know wome will come complaining, it's only human nature. But any who do I just won't respect(as if that matters either). Most of the longtime regs. know what I'm saying though, at least I hope.
