ProphetX CFB Lines- VT current off EPA/play +0.31 and 3.99 points/drive versus BC -0.07 and 1.31; the efficiency gap agrees with the spread direction.
- The VMI blowout contaminates Virginia Tech's current efficiency and points-per-drive sample; Tier 2, not Tier 1, reflects that uncertainty.
Long Way Home- Virginia Tech's first three margins were +70, +23, and +9; Boston College's were -19, +7, and +6.
- Pinnacle's main Virginia Tech -14 at -115 supports the direction; ProphetX offers the more aggressive -14.5 at +103.
