The current betting odds have Virginia listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Virginia has looked really good in their games this season with their 9-2 record overall and their 6-1 conference record which has them right at the top of the ACC. They have looked great on their home field too with their 5-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech has looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-8 record overall and their 2-5 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the ACC. They haven't been a good road team either with their 1-2 road record this year. Their offense has been a disaster this season and they fired their head coach weeks ago. They don't really have anything left to play for since they can't become bowl eligible, and they have already turned their focus to next season with the hiring of James Franklin. They are off a 34-17 loss to Miami in their last one and that defense isn't going to be able to keep Virginia off the board. Virginia has definitely been flailing lately, struggling to beat bad teams over the last month, and it finally caught up to them in their loss to Wake Forest. They bounced back with a 34-17 road win over Duke in their last one, their offense getting back into rhythm, and now they have a ton of momentum on their side with Georgia Tech losing last week and handing Virginia a clean path to the ACC Championship. Virginia is going to bring their best effort with so much on the line here, and they have the offense to pull away throughout this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Virginia to cover the spread in this game.

“I think we played physically, I think we played on the edges and I think we’d have put more on them if we hadn’t gotten down as quickly as we did. If we had been able to maintain a few things in there, I think we could have added more.” - Philip Montgomery after his team’s loss against Miami-Florida in their last game. 

“He was adamant about this. This is what he came here (for), an opportunity to be in this position in the month of November.” - Tony Elliott after his team’s win against Duke in their last game.
