Virginia has made it back to the Top 25 thanks to some great defense. On the season, the Cavaliers are allowing just 55.5 points per game. At home, they are 10-2, allowing just 50.4 per game! In comes Boston College with their defense that gives up 76.7 on the road. No contest. BC's defense is low pressure. They force just 10 turnovers per game. That's not a good thing against UVA, a team that is 8-2 ATS this season vs. poor-pressure defenses. The Eagles have underperformed all season, going 6-15 straight-up and 6-15 against the number. Dating back to last season, UVA is 19-8 ATS as home chalk. Take the Cavs. Also go with the UNDER in the first-half in this game. Virginia allows just 21.9 per game in the first-half in home games while BC scores just 31.0 per game in the first half on the road. Over the past three seasons, the Eagles have started slow following a loss. They are 23-11 UNDER in the first half over that span after a loss. Virginia is 31-18 UNDER in the first-half over the same span in games with a total set under 61. Virginia should stifle BC here. Take the Cavaliers and the first-half UNDER.
