Tennessee Volunteers vs. Virginia Tech Hokies: 2009 Chick-Fil-A Bowl Picks

The 2009 Chick-Fil-A Bowl will feature the Tennessee Volunteers against the Virginia Tech Hokies on Dec. 31.

Both the Vols and the Hokies are very good defensively, so you can expect a low scoring game. The oddsmakers currently have the Hokies favored by as much as six points. The posted total for the game is sitting at 49 points, which might seem a bit high considering how good both defenses are. 

The Volunteers are coming off a six point win over the Kentucky Wildcats, while the Hokies are coming off a dominant 29 point win over the Virginia Cavaliers as 14 point underdogs.

The Volunteers are 7-5 on the season while the Hokies are 9-3 overall. The Volunteers defense has allowed an average of just 308.8 yards per game this season and just 21 point per game. The Hokies defense has allowed an average of just 300.1 ypg this season but only 263.3 yards per game over their last three games played.

The Hokies Offense has put up an average of 454.7 yards per game and a whopping 38.7 ppg over their last three games played. The Volunteers offense has struggled on the road this season, averaging just 318 ypg and just 17.5 ppg over four road games and I would not expect them to get much going against this Hokies defense Thursday night.

There is currently over 67 percent of the betting public on the Hokies to cover the spread by six points tonight.
