NCAA Basketball Wagering - Wake Forest at Virginia Tech
By Eric Williams
The Virginia Tech Hokies, (17-11 SU, 14-11 ATS, 15-10 O/U), have won six of their last ten games overall and comes into tonight’s matchup riding a three-game winning streak that includes an emphatic 67-48 victory over the Boston College Eagles on Saturday.
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons, (16-11 SU, 13-8-1 ATS, 11-11 O/U), have one of the most promising young teams in the nation, but have dropped three straight games coming into this ACC Matchup, including a 87-79 loss at Georgia Tech on Saturday.
The Demon Deacons are averaging 73.0 points per game on 43.4 percent shooting while giving up 69.0 points per game to their opponents on 42.7 percent shooting. Wake has covered the spread in the BetUS.com Sportsbook in six of their last ten games.
The Hokies are averaging 69.2 points per game on 43.5 percent shooting while limiting their opponents to just 65.3 points per game on 41.0 percent shooting.
Virginia Tech has covered the spread in six of their last ten games and three straight coming into this affair.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends, followed by my NCAA Basketball Wagering Free Picks:
The Demon Deacons are 5-0 ATS in their last five Tuesday games.
The Demon Deacons are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Hokies are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
The Hokies are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400.
The Over is 4-1 in Demon Deacons last five overall.
The Over is 6-2 in Hokies last eight games following a S.U. win.
The Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
Analysis: The Hokies are playing excellent basketball at the moment and should be able to cover the spread in this game against a hungry but very inexperienced Wake Forest team. Take Virginia Tech to cover the spread.
