Orange Bowl Pick

Top Play

Stanford/Va Tech over 58 (now 59)

Both teams have respectable defenses but the offenses will determine the winner. Two great college QB's going tonight in Luck and Taylor and both will have success in their own ways.

Luck of course is a prototypical passer with a solid o line and good skill players around him. Definitely not an offense like this in the ACC and the Stanford will be sharp and able to rip off big pass plays and occasional runs when they need to keep the Hokies honest.

On the other side, Stanford's defense is brutish but not built to stop speed offenses. They will have prepared mightily but over the last few weeks will not be able to replicate the Va Tech offense. Look for a lot of big plays out of the passing game for them once they have gotten the option working.

I would be on the look out for the 2nd half over as well as both teams will have pulled off the gloves by then and will be in full attack mode.

Don't know who will win but the over will be a breeze.
