The Hokies are the likely winner at Lane Stadium. Whether they can cover 19.5 points is a separate question.
What the price requires
Virginia Tech enters its home game against Old Dominion at 1-0 under James Franklin, according to Virginia Tech Athletics, the school's official athletics site. SPF favors the Hokies by 19.5 points, requiring a win by at least 20 to cover. An unbeaten start alone doesn't establish that kind of advantage.
SPF lists Virginia Tech at -1200 and Old Dominion at +750. The Hokies are the likely winner based on that market assessment, but their moneyline requires a win probability above 92.3% to break even. Without confirmed starters or substantive performance details for this matchup, there's no basis for judging that price a worthwhile bet.
The total is 49.5, with over -112 and under -108. With no verified offensive or defensive statistics to assess the scoring matchup, neither side warrants a play. The betting decision is Pass.
