Coming off a disappointing 45-10 beatdown at the hands of Duke a week ago, the Virginia Tech Hokies will have to gather themselves quickly with a trip to Hard Rock Stadium to take on the Miami Hurricanes scheduled for Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET. The Hurricanes weren't particularly impressive in their most recent performance, beating a Central Michigan squad that had lost 61-0 to No. 8 Wisconsin by a final score of 17-12 two weeks ago despite being favored by 30.5 points. Both Virginia Tech and Miami are at 2-2 on the season and a win would go a long way towards getting each program into the conversation for bowl eligibility. The Hurricanes are currently 14-point favorites in the latest Miami vs. Virginia Tech odds after that line opened at Miami -13.5. The over-under is down to 46 from 47. But before you make any Miami vs. Virginia Tech picks, be sure to check out the Week 6 college football predictions from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times, and those who have followed it have seen huge returns. Over the past four-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning $4,200 profit for $100 players on its top-rated college football against-the-spread picks.  

The model enters Week 6 of the 2019 college football season on a strong run, going 52-34 on its top-rated picks. It also called North Carolina (+27.5) covering with plenty of room to spare against Clemson and Ohio State (-17) easily covering against Nebraska last week. Anybody who has been following it is way up.

Now, the model has zeroed in on Miami vs. Virginia Tech. We can tell you it's leaning over, and it's also generated a strong against-the-spread pick that cashes in nearly 60 percent of simulations. That one is only available at SportsLine. 

The model knows that Miami feels comfortable in its defense's ability to generate stops and turnovers. The Hurricanes have allowed just 2.1 yards per carry so far this season and allow just 4.5 yards per play while taking the football away eight times in the first four games.

Junior cornerback Trajan Bandy has been one of the most disruptive players on the Miami defense, with two sacks coming off the edge, four pass deflections and a forced fumble. With Bandy locking one side of the field down and making big plays to put pressure on opposing offenses, a loaded Miami front seven has been able to play downhill and attack opponents and that unit will be looking to do more of the same on Saturday at home against Virginia Tech.

But just because the Hurricanes are favored doesn't guarantee they'll cover the Miami vs. Virginia Tech spread on Saturday.

The model also knows that Virginia Tech's defense can be difficult to move the ball against through the air. The Hokies have only allowed 163.3 passing yards per game and held three of their four opponents to a 56.3 percent completion rate or worse. Jermaine Waller has great length at 6-foot-1 at one cornerback position, as does Caleb Farley on the other side at 6-foot-2. Meanwhile, nickelback Chamarri Conner has proven he can be disruptive for the Hokies, having already recoded three tackles for loss and two sacks coming off the edge.

So who wins Virginia Tech vs. Miami? And which side of the spread can you bank on in nearly 60 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Virginia Tech vs. Miami spread to jump on Saturday, all from the advanced computer model that is up $4,200 on its top-rated college football picks, and find out.
