1-Unit Play. Take #111 Virginia Tech (+2.5) over Georgia Tech (7:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 12)
The Hokies have to get two wins in order to get Frank Beamer to his 23rd straight bowl game. That's a lot of motivation. The Hokies have been massive underachievers this season. But I think that focusing on trying to get to a bowl game will help them stay focused and playing hard for the rest of the season. Beamer is a remarkable 24-9 ATS when he is posted as an underdog and facing a team that he has revenge against. Georgia Tech is all over the map this year; they were a Top 20 team, then hit a major losing streak, then have seemed to rebound. But the fact is I will play the underdog on the road here. The line movement is going against the public betting and that is an indicator, so look for Tech to steal an outright win.
1-Unit Play. Take #110 N.Y. Jets (-1.5) over Buffalo (8 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 12)
There is just too much emotion for the Jets not to play well in this game. I am a big fan of this Bills team in terms of overall talent. Rex Ryan is a mega-loser and terrible coaching is going to hurt them for the entirety of this season. But from a talent perspective, the Bills are legit. That said, the Jets have been a much better, much sounder, much more balanced team this season. They are at home and this line movement doesn't make a ton of sense. The Jets have a nice home field edge and a big motivational edge in this one. They desperately want to beat Ryan, who did not leave town on good terms at all. Also, Ryan Fitzpatrick is looking to get revenge against his former team. The Bills are better. But they are undisciplined. They will do something stupid to blow this close game.
