The Orange Bowl: Stanford vs. Virginia Tech

Am Orange Bowl featuring two of the hottest teams in college football.  Virginia Tech went 11-0 straight up and 9-2 against the spread after losing to Boise State and James Madison to open the year.

Stanford, meanwhile, blew out the majority of its opponents and led Oregon 21-3 after the first quarter before losing 52-31 in the end.

Stanford is giving VA Tech 3.5 pts, but I still like the Cardinal.

Stanford features the best quarterback in college football and a sure fire NFL starter in Andrew Luck.  The Hokies are stout on defense, one of the best teams at stopping opponents on 3rd down.  3rd downs will be crucial in this game. 

The Cardinal are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  Look for them to be 5-0-1 after tonight's game.  Go with Stanford.
