It is fitting that the all powerful SEC wraps up the last Bowl game of the 2009 season. Tonight’s Chick-Fil-A Bowl (AKA the old Peach Bowl) features another ACC vs. SEC matchup; the second one of post season play. #12 Virginia Tech (9-3) vs. Tennessee (7-5), with the Hokies (WTF is a hokie?) favored by 6 points.
I look at this line as a dare – the folks that control the lines cannot seriously think that one of the better ACC teams is actually almost a TD favorite over a middle of the road (yet up and coming) Volunteers. Think of it this way. On the last weekend of regular season play, two mediocre SEC teams (Georgia and South Carolina) up ended the top ACC Coastal and Atlantic teams.
No way Va. Tech covers (I am taking Tennessee and the points) and I seriously doubt that the Hokies have the wherewithal to actually win outright.
Regular Season Record: 46-41
