The Virginia Cavaliers are going to be massive favorites for obvious reasons, but this line is a bit insane. Virginia doesn’t have the offensive horses to pull away like this, and it’s winning at home by an average of 14.7 points. Virginia has failed to cover each of its last 6 games. This is a lot of points. I’ll take a stab with the road dog.
