Miami Hurricanes vs Virginia Tech Hokies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/22/25

Let’s just start with this: picking Virginia Tech to cover against a far more talented Miami team is a bold play, and it is the sort of thing that if we are wrong, we will feel stupid and wonder what we were ever thinking in the first place. There, I said it. Still, when the Miami Hurricanes roll into Blacksburg on Saturday afternoon to face the Virginia Tech Hokies, something about this game feels like a trap. Miami is feeling some momentum because the playoff committee seems to like them, even though their chances of making the ACC title game are quite slim. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech is a bad football team that made a coaching change midseason, and things have gone downhill from there. So of course the Hurricanes should blow out the Hokies, right? I am suspicious. Give me the Hokies +17.5.

This line opened at 15.5, and it pushed through the key number of 17 almost immediately. I think there is a solid chance this is a 17-pt game exactly, and Vegas was right in the first place. We are in a trap spot for Miami; the Hurricanes are on the road, have some momentum, and have Pitt looming on the horizon. The Hokies are playing their last home game, and for much of this roster, that will be it. They just hired a new coach in James Franklin, and if anyone has eligibility and wants to stay, they need to put down some tape against the Canes. Miami is also in a place where they have to feel like they need to score style points, and very often when teams are trying to win by 40, they end up fighting to win at all. There is no real statistical reason to think the Hokies can hang around here, but a low-scoring contest that goes something like 30-13 is very possible.

Miami vs Virginia Tech Prediction: Virginia Tech Hokies +17.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
