5 STAR for Saturday NCAA Football - 9/17
Here is my top play for this weeks college football. I would only expect the line to go up so I would get on it while it is still at a nice number....

5 STAR: VIRGINIA TECH (-34) OVER Ohio
Rarely do I make such a heavy chalk my top play of the week, but Virginia Tech is on a roll and I will continue to ride them here. The Hokies opened the season with a big win at NC State and then totally dominated Duke last week on the road. I look for that to continue here in Blacksburg for the home opener. I'm not a fan of laying this much wood, but I think this could be another shutout for the Hokie defense. The Bobcats are sky high coming off of last weeks upset of Pittsburgh as a two touchdown underdog, but Ohio is only 4-13 against the spread in their last 17 road games after one or more straight up win. The Hokies usually man handle these smaller schools that make the trip to Blacksburg. Last season they beat Western Michigan 63-0 as a 26 point favorite and Florida A&M 62-0 as a 23 point favorite, two seasons ago they shutout James Madison 43-0 (there was no line on this game) and three seasons ago they beat Arkansas State 63-7 as a 39 point favorite. So there is a history of them covering this big number against these smaller schools. I don't see the Bobcats being able to do much against the Virginia Tech defense and the Hokies are 7-0 against the spread the last two seasons when they allow 14 points or less. Hokies roll!!!
