Shop around, and grab 14.5 if you can. Ohio State comes in with more hype than any team in the country, along with the "revenge" factor on many bettors' minds. I just do not see a 14 point spread here as something Ohio State will cover on the road in hostile environment on national TV. There are several reasons why one would like Ohio State in this game, I mean they return 14 starters and are completely loaded at each level on both offense and defense, but suspensions hurt them for this game, and so does the fact that they are returning champions. I also don't really see this as a revenge game considering Ohio State went on to win the national championship and this game happened back in week 2 of 2014.

Virginia Tech should be pumped up for this game and they return 16 starters. A defense that held the Ohio State offense to just 327 yards in their own building. Ohio State's offensive line is much improved, but Virginia Tech was breaking in a lot of 1st time starters and they will have the deepest defensive line in the country with the additional of Maddy coming back after missing the 2014 season. Both teams have the weakness of run defense, but I'll give the edge to Virginia Tech there considering they are at home. Ohio State lost their 2nd and 3rd best ends, and Joey Bosa will miss this game. Ohio State was 89th in power success rate and 77th at stuff rate in run defense and Virginia Tech has 2 under rated running backs in JC Coleman and Marshawn Williams.

In the end this is a close game. I may hedge my bet a little with live in game betting if I can get Ohio State under a TD, because Virginia Tech should get out to an early lead. Although Tech is 18-1 in their last 19 home openers.
