North Carolina A&T vs Virginia Tech Prediction 

Virginia Tech comes into this matchup looking to snap their six-game losing streak, but they have scored just 64 points or fewer in all six games. The Hokies are shooting 41.2% from the field, but I will say they have played a very solid schedule to start the year. North Carolina A&T has lost four games in a row and they have allowed at least 82 points in three of those four. The Aggies are the better offensive team when looking at the stats, but Virginia Tech should win this game easily at home, especially after a decent showing against Pitt. Take the Hokies here.
