00:00pit taking on va tech of course uh coach franklin's uh first hurrah on a big friday night
00:07game in blacksburg uh don't know if you've uh you've ever been there to experience what that's
00:13like but it is pretty epic with metallica blasting and everything else uh but you know
00:19they didn't have they had the white out at penn state but pat narduzzi and pit come in with one
00:25of the best defenses in the country both these teams are four and oh both these teams have
00:30aspirations to go toe-to-toe with miami and the acc here so it i think this is a fascinating
00:37game
00:38but this was three and a half earlier in the week greg it's now two and a half so there's
00:43been a lot
00:44of pit love coming in here my question is does defense win games like this or where do we look
00:51here in a spot and by the way first road game for pit here tonight yeah i i was looking
00:58this morning
00:58at this and i was shocked to see that both teams are undefeated as you said like i was like
01:04what
01:04like where did this come from and the fact that if you think about this too espn this is like
01:11the
01:11money game for them they got really lucky this is in between no baseball games no college football games
01:17they got a prime time game tonight i i think a lot of people are going to be watching this
01:21game
01:21i really do like i i didn't realize that both teams got off to such a great start i think
01:26it's a little
01:26paperish i'm not sure that either team is fantastic i know both teams had two easy games and then a
01:32little bit tougher team that wins tonight puts them in a much better position i think virginia tech at
01:37home uh that that's a really tough place to play just generally speaking and franklin penn state's
01:42probably looking back like man we had we had that guy i don't know we let him go and he
01:46ended up in
01:46virginia tech so i i sort of lean a little bit just to generally the home team on a friday
01:51night
01:51what i usually will do is anytime a my rule of thumb with betting on college sports especially
01:59at night is i want to take the unranked team on the road as a dog going into the team
02:06that uh that is ranked i want to do that right because i i think i think sometimes that could
02:12get
02:12sideways but i don't see that happening tonight i don't know joe you probably more educated
02:16than me uh on the game but i would i would lean toward virginia tech just because of the atmosphere
02:22yeah i like i took virginia tech at three and a half uh it's two and a half now i'm
02:27i am much more
02:28like you said i don't see a lot of difference between these two teams i know pat narduzzi
02:34it they are going to be bringing in a very tough team that plays defense that's going to make life
02:39a
02:39little miserable here for virginia tech and they just had a tough one against boston college in what was
02:45a nor'easter uh last week and they had a last second uh win against them and they trailed that
02:53entire game so i'm wondering how much of a hangover they're going to have from that but there is no
02:58doubt i'm telling you right now this is going to be a packed lane stadium uh metallica blasting this is
03:06going to be over the top uh exciting but doesn't mean you still got to go out and play the
03:12game here
03:13so i think it's going to be a very close game i think it will come down to eventually likely
03:18a
03:18field goal uh but if you like far tech i would absolutely avoid this just bet them on the money
03:24line it's cheap enough here at this particular point that you can get them there but should be a good
03:30entertaining and competitive game for sure on a friday night
03:34night
