Virginia Tech vs Syracuse Betting Prediction
The Hokies' lack of turnovers will undoubtedly continue in this game since the Orange rarely press and frequently sit back in the 2-3 zone. Given the volume of long rebounds against their zone because opponents are frequently compelled to shoot long balls, the Orange are the better rebounding team, which is crucial for the Orange.
The Orange is 7-3 at home this year and has a better shooting performance. Given that the Hokies have lost four straight games, they are facing the Hokies at an ideal time. Take the Orange to cover the spread in this one.
Pick: Syracuse Orange +3 (-110)
