Miami at Virginia picks and predictions
Prediction
Virginia 66, Miami 62
Moneyline
PASS.
Virginia (-215) should pick up this win as I expect this to be a low-scoring game, which greatly favors the Cavaliers' chances of winning, but Virginia is just slightly too heavy of a favorite to risk betting on here. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN MIAMI +4.5 (-102).
Miami has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games overall and is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 meetings with Virginia. Miami has also been very good ATS this year, being 13-8-1 on the season.
Look for Virginia's defense to give the Hurricanes offense some trouble, but Miami is simply so lethal offensively that it will keep this game competitive.
This is only a lean because these squads have been very even ATS this year, but I expect that Miami's offensive advantage will be enough to keep the Hurricanes in this game.
