Result: Win
This is a 10* ACC SIDE OF THE YEAR on Virginia Tech.

REASONING: The Hokies beat Duke at home by 13 to close the 2016 calendar year, but have started 2017 with back-to-back losses, most recently to NC State by 26 and to FSU by 15 on the road on Saturday. VT will be desperate to return to form here, sitting at just 1-2 in the ACC thus far. Conversely, the Orange look poised for a letdown after beating Pittsburgh 77-66 on Saturday to push their conference record to 2-1. Note that the Hokies also play with revenge today after falling to Syracuse 68-60 in OT last season. Syracuse has been all over the map as far as its game to game consistency has been concerend, it opened 2017 with a loss to lowly Boston College on the road, but bounced back with a 70-55 win over Miami Florida on January 4th. The Orange average 76.6 PPG and allow 65.8. Virginia Tech though averages 83.3 points, while allowing 72.1. We think the Hokies high-powered offense will prove to be just too much for the Orange to contend with today. And note that Syracuse is just 1-5 ATS in its last six following a straight-up victory, while VT is 20-8 ATS in its last 28 following an ATS loss. VIRGINIA TECH's desperation proves to the be the difference, lay the short points.
