Before making any Virginia Tech vs. Old Dominion picks, you NEED to check out the college football predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,600 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It enters Week 1 of the 2022 college football season on a 45-32 run on all top-rated college football spread and money-line picks that dates back to 2021. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.
The model knows the Hokies welcome junior transfer Grant Wells at quarterback. Wells comes to Blacksburg from Marshall, where he was the starting quarterback the past two seasons. In 24 games, including 23 starts, Wells threw for 5,623 yards and 34 touchdowns with 22 interceptions, completing 460 of 715 passes (64.3 percent). He also rushed 115 times for 237 yards and nine TDs. He was named the 2020 Conference USA Freshman of the Year after leading the conference with 2,091 passing yards and 18 touchdown passes.
The model also knows redshirt junior transfer Zack Kuntz gives an immediate boost to the Old Dominion offense at tight end. Kuntz made 73 catches last season at Penn State, the second most by a tight end in the nation. Only Mackey Award winner Trey McBride of Colorado State had more. Kuntz had 692 receiving yards with five touchdowns, including a long of 43 yards.
