movement this opened up with the Hokies at minus 12 they got up to 14 pretty quick got up to 14 pretty W quick they went back down to 13 this week they're sitting right now at 13 and a half so we have one and a half points of movement towards the hokeys let's get to the total in this one set up the cash flow couple X's Nos and hand it over to our expert Wine Time Sports from a total perspective moving a little slow here we go we have it sitting at 47 and a half in this one wow a huge huge drop this opened up at 54 uh now that again was July 8th uh there was not a move towards the under until August 12th a half-point move it was eight days ago on August 20th that this moved three points towards the under and it kept moving we now are at 47 and a half an amazing six and a half points of movement here uh for the under a huge huge move towards the under let's take a look at the cash flow then for this one we have here we go sorry one second here let's get over to Saturday SE oh that's the my bad God sorry where is this here we go we go 54% of the tickets and 86% of the cash is on Vanderbilt and we have a point and a half move towards Virginia Tech on the total here we have 36% of the tickets on the under but 73% of the cash and this move towards the under a Brent pry and the hokes com in off a seven- win season year three of the pry regime uh they expect to improve off that seven- win season they have a ton of continuity this year Junior quarterback Kiron drones threw for 284 yards 17 touchdowns and three interceptions and they bring back the entire offensive line they've got receivers too that are coming back towan Felton Alli Jennings Steph Gosnell uh brachel toon returns at running back after leading the hokes with 863 yards and 10 touchdowns van built has been the conference doormat for years now and come into the season on a 10-game losing streak they suffered the most losses by 15 or more points of any FBS team last year nine of them they haven't played a bowl game since 2018 but there's hope Diego Pavia comes in he was the Conference USA offensive player of the year for New Mexico state he comes in at quarterback Cedric Alexander is back a leading rusher I mean he only ran for 371 yards but he was their leading rusher there is hope with Pavia should there be hope with Pavia take it away for us here Wine Time Virginia Tech Vandy um yeah vanderbel actually they went out and got themselves a new offensive coordinator uh this last off this last offseason coming from New Mexico State uh Tim Beck I believe his name is brought in a lot of his guys here including Diego um you know I still I think this is still an open competition I'm not sure I haven't gotten word yet if he uh was announced a starter I know is between him and the Utah transfer Johnson also very Dynamic uh played with Utah a couple games last year very Dynamic on the ground but um I think they might use both of these guys but it's gonna be interesting to see you know this is a big jump New Mexico state to the SEC to the big boys and um you know Diego Pera played well uh in his conference and you know I've seen a lot of his interviews he's very confident in himself and in this offense he knows this offense really well um so we're gonna see about that but you look at Virginia Tech on the other side though man these guys return a lot of guys as you mentioned their whole receiving C these guys are all grad transfer seniors fifth year guys guys that have been the system um the last couple years bring back their offensive linemen to protect Kiren drones who uh ended up taking over for Grant Wells last season um really gave this program some life last season uh didn't make too many mistakes um you know he's kind of afraid to throw it sometimes uh but you know it's his first year starting his first year in the offense heading into year two for Kiron Jones I'm very high on this guy I'm high on this Virginia Tech Team um you know Brent pry year three I think this is his year they're really going to take off the over under wins was at eight you know I already took it in the preseason um I love their over eight wins in this but you know uh this is going to be a good matchup for them on the road against an SEC opponent Vandy you know kind of mentioned they've been the doormat these last couple years man um really looking for slim life in that program I don't think they're gonna have it uh year one here with the new offensive coordinator um you know vanderbelt isn't necessarily known as a tough place to play either a lot of their fans don't show I mean they do show out but it's not a crazy environment or anything like that um Kyon Jones has been practicing with those wide receivers all summer he's been taking them with him uh to Miami when he's been training uh he's pretty much been taking him everywhere he's gone these guys are all really close they got continuity in that program um and you know we see them on the road as a 13 and a half 14o favorite um against an SEC opponent ACC um something tells me that Virginia Tech is going to blow these guys out of the water um I like Virginia Tech here whatever you can get me the spread minus 13 and a halfus 14 I think these guys win by at least 21 points could even be 30 I think these guys are going to make an example out of them in their first week uh they bring back their running backs too they're they're very much are a run first offense as well uh and Kiron Jones can run with it too he's got a great stature at the quarterback position um but I think I just think they're gonna blow these guys out of the water they're gonna put the foot on the gas and they're not going to stop um they want to show that they should have been a preseason ranked and they will be ranked after this week did you tweet out this action I did I got him at 13 and a half though 13 and a half minus 110 that's available right now as well so Virginia Tech minus 13 a half at minus 110 for our guy wine time again we will be tracking all of wi times's action throughout the college football season and we will be posting it up above him on our cut
