stay away picks

  • Friday, September 2, 2022

Las Vegas - Gonna rock the college football board tonight. For a minute, forget about the superior ACC vs. the Sun Belt, and focus on a Virginia showdown between Old Dominion and Virginia Tech. ODU and VTech are at opposite ends of the state, about 280 miles and a five hour drive. The Monarchs play host and are a +6.5 point underdog (we bought at +7.5). Dominion doesn't have 100,000 fans tonight, but they'll seat 22,480 at S.B. Ballard Stadium and it will be NUTZ! If you're in Norfolk, we would suggest you watch the Monarch March from the Webb Center to the Stadium. The team marches into the stadium where they all touch the head of an ODU lion before heading inside. C'MON. Tell me you're not shaking with anticipation. Why ODU? Last season, the Monarchs started UGLY, losing six of their first seven, but closed on a 5-0 run and even went to the Myrtle Beach Bowl Game. They should carry Uncle Mo into the 2022 season with QB Hayden Wolff (1,933 yards and 10 touchdowns with a 63% completion rate) back under center. Old Dominion returns 10 starters on offense and seven on the defensive side. The Hokies will be searching for some continuity under first year head coach Brent Pry with only four kids returning on offense. You know that Monarch butterflies look spectacular, and your bank account will also when ODU covers this spread!

And I'll say this as LOUD as possible. Anyone that calls, emails or texts you that is selling picks, and claims that they hit 70% winners, PLZ HANG UP THE PHONE, PLZ TRASH THE EMAIL, PLZ DELETE THE TEXT!!!
