Virginia vs. Virginia Tech betting prediction
The Virginia Cavaliers have struggled on the offensive side of the ball but have been elite on the less flashy side of the ball. The Cavaliers have also thrived in ACC play, trailing just the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils in the conference standings.
Meanwhile, the Virginia Tech Hokies have been a middle of the pack unit on both sides of the ball. The Hokies have also struggled in conference play, as they are near the bottom of the ACC standings.
While Virginia Tech will be playing in front of a home crowd, that should not matter as Virginia wins this one outright.
Pick: Virginia Cavaliers ML (+150)
