Miami (2-3) listed as a 7-point favorite over the 2-4 Hokies for Saturday's 12:30 p.m. kickoff in Blacksburg. It's a sellout crowd and Homecoming for Virginia Tech.

The percentage that Miami is projected to win in each remaining game this season has dropped with the exception of at Virginia on October 29 after the loss to North Carolina. Virginia lost 34-17 to Louisville on Saturday. The Cavaliers are 2-4 overall, 0-3 in the ACC and like Miami has a three-game losing streak.
Miami is given a 78.4 percent chance to win at Virginia Tech on Saturday. Virginia Tech is 2-4 overall, 1-2 in the ACC and also has a three-game losing streak with each loss by at least 16 points. Virginia Tech is 98th nationally in the FPI and last among ACC teams. Miami at Virginia Tech kicks off at 12:30 PM.
Miami has a very winnable schedule in front of them. Clemson who is sixth in the FPI and Florida State who is 24th are the only teams remaining on the Miami football schedule ranked higher than the Hurricanes. With Clemson remaining on the schedule and the loss the North Carolina winning the Coastal Division will be very difficult.
