We'l back from Vietnam, been crawling in the bush for a few weeks, sort of. Wild country and a lot of fun to visit. Extremely cheap, Vibrant, young, great food, wild scooters drivers and they hate/scared of the Chinese. Vietnam It ain't your granddads communism. Saigon is more capitalist then anywhere in the USA, go figure. The currency is the Dong and it takes 100,000 to get a massage, that's like $4 dollars.
VT vs Duke. Well, on the surface Duke +2.5 seems like a gift from the NCAA gods, easy money, pretty obvious bet most would say. Be careful. Cutcliff is a conventional guy that Bud Foster usually can coach well against. The QB drops back in the pocket and throws the ball. Yes, Bud doesn't have the front 7 he is used to, but we are now 4 games into the season and he has a pretty good handle on what his boys are capable of. He will scheme to limit their weaknesses and leave fewer guys exposed. I do expect a lot of points in this game, Cutcliff is a master and has the better QB and offense. He will pressure VT, into having to keep up, by scoring TD's. With a weak Mike and a poor DL Duke will find opportunities, the game is at night in Blacksburg. That used to mean something, I'd expect it may mean a little tonight. VT should play better.
Fuente can't afford a loss here, after the dismal start to the season if he gets pounded here, the season is lost, VT will have 2 ACC losses with Miami on the road next week. I'd tease the over down 7 to 45. Then tease Duke to +9.5, make VT earn it. I'd sprinkle a little Dong on Duke and the ML, VT has a lot more pressure in this game then Duke does, Cutcliff can open this up if VT can't match Duke scoring.
