Trying to avoid their first three-game losing streak in six years, the visiting Virginia Tech Hokies look to avenge a rare loss to the East Carolina Pirates in a non-conference matchup tonight.

College football betting odds have the Hokies listed as 13-point road favorites.

Virginia Tech hasn’t lost three in a row since dropping its final two regular-season games and falling 52-49 to California in the 2003 Insight Bowl. The Hokies were 5-3 at this point last year and went on to win five of six to finish 10-4.

That should be enough to give the Hokies a boost tonight. If not, the memory of last season’s 27-22 upset loss to East Carolina should help.

The Hokies had won six straight in the series, but the Pirates returned a blocked punt 27 yards for a touchdown with 1:52 left to stun Virginia Tech in its season opener.
