Virginia Tech Hokies vs Stanford Cardinal Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 10/05/24

The Virginia Tech Hokies hit the road to battle the Stanford Cardinal in an ACC battle. The Hokies suffered a 38-34 loss at Miami last week, and it was like losing twice. Virginia Tech thought it had the miraculous win in a Hail Mary after a referee signaled touchdown. Following a lengthy review, the play was overturned for the controversial loss. Now, we’ll find out a lot about head coach Brent Pry and his team. Will it band together in a cross-country trip, or will it have a hangover after the disappointing finish — coming out flat against a team it has very little history against?

The Cardinal know a thing about travel already. They went to Syracuse and earned their first ACC victory on Sept. 20, and then it was back east again last Saturday for a 40-14 spanking from Clemson. As an underdog, Stanford is 2-1 against the spread (ATS) this season — including a cover in its only previous home game against an FBS opponent, TCU, in the opener. It is 2-0 ATS this season as a single-digit underdog, too. Stanford has one of the most electric, and underrated, wide receivers in the ACC in WR Elic Ayomanor. He is a difference-maker for Stanford, and his presence should help keep this a 1-score game.
