Virginia Tech at home against East Carolina. Why is VT only at a PK?

Isn't VT a pretty decent team and they had a good game last time out. Any thoughts on this?

I think game is at a nuetral site in Norfolk. Actually closer to ECU campus than Blacksburg. Other than that I don't know why a pick.

Norfolk/Va Beach is a strong alumni/recruiting base for Va Tech. Not many Hokie fans went to Phoenix for the Insight Bowl, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a decent number of Hokie fans @ Norfolk for the game.

If it means anything (not sure if it does), I think the Hokies will have a slight home-court advantage.

Game will be @ Constant Convocation Center on the campus of Old Dominion.

I *think* Va Tech has played here before. They've played @ ODU, but I'm not sure if the game was @ Constant.

East Carolina is now -3 1/2 at Olympic .... something seems strange here .... maybe Va Tech just isn't that good??

Virginia Tech is not that good and neither is East Carolina but I would lean to East Carolina here.

ECU has a good team this year, they've been beating up on teams pretty good. Close loss to good G.Mason team on the road.

This is a no play for me.

This is ECUs second lined game of the year (0-1 ATS) and VTech coming off blowout win over William and Mary -- Linesamker may have been thinking that public would hammer VTech in this one....maybe Linesmaker out-thought itself on this one...

I hammered ECU pretty good on the overnight line last evening at a PK -- was going to be my POD until this morning's line move -- who knows, maybe Linesmaker thinking public hammers ECU when VTech is the "right" side.

All makes for interesting life.
