Miami Hurricanes vs. Virginia Cavaliers: Betting Odds
Miami Hurricanes vs. Virginia Cavaliers: Pick
Keytaon Thompson has been a solid servant for the Cavaliers so far this season. The 24-year-old wide receiver has been exceptional in the first seven games. He has recorded a total of 572 receiving yards.
Earlier, Thompson started his career as a quarterback but became a wide receiver later on. If the Hurricanes are to win this game, they need to make sure they stop him from the get-go.
Pick: Keytaon Thompson Total Receiving Yards Over 66.5 (-115)
Hurricanes vs. Virginia Cavaliers: Prediction
Miami have a 3-2 advantage over Virginia in their last five encounters. Seven of their last eight games have not crossed the 48-point mark.
Even though the Cavaliers are playing at home, the Hurricanes are still the stronger side of the two. However, it should be close encounter and a low scoring one.
Prediction: Miami -2.5 (-115)
