The Richmond Spiders have been a good investment so far this season, and they find themselves in a favorable scheduling spot when they visit the Virginia Tech Hokies tonight.

You see, Virginia Tech has begun their ACC schedule, and they are coming off of their first conference win of the season vs. Virginia on Saturday. Thus, they cannot be too enthused about this non-conference affair at this time, especially since they resume ACC play vs. Boston College this Saturday.

Conversely, this game means much more to Richmond, who would love to give their program a boost by knocking off an ACC opponent. The Spiders have certainly held their own so far this season, going 9-6 straight up but a much better 6-2 against the spread.

Furthermore, one of those covers came vs. another ACC team in a seven-point loss to Wake Forest, the same Wake team that just knocked off North Carolina. Richmond has also not minded traveling, going a respectable 3-3 SU and a perfect 3-0 ATS on the road.

The Hokies, meanwhile, may be 10-5, but they have not exactly been bettor-friendly, going a poor 3-7 ATS. Tech is 5-1 SU here at home, but they are only winning those games by an average of +6.7 points, a margin that would not be good enough to cover this number.

When you factor in the difference in motivation between these two teams, Richmond become the somewhat obvious choice at this price.
