The Hokies are going to be there step for step, but I like Stanford’s strength across the board and how they played down the stretch.

ATS Section (45-44-1 to date)
We’re 4-3 straight up, but 3-4 ATS in ACC bowls…
- Virginia Tech +3.5 vs. Stanford
Take to Bank %: 10%
We’re hedging a bit here, but the Hokies can stick with Stanford and maybe even get that extra score to pull it off.
