Virginia has arrived as one of the best programs in the country. After suffering through four straight seasons of never finishing more than one game over .500 the Cavaliers have won 29 games or more in three straight years and at 14-3 on the season are poised to do it again. It is all about defense, as the Cavs have allowed 55.5 points per game since the start of the 2013 season, and have been a bit better than that this year at 53.5 ppg. The offense, however, has only averaged 67.9 ppg, so covering large pointspreads is not easy. Enter an upstart Georgia Tech team that is 11-7 and vastly improved, and I think the Yellow Jackets can hang around a very big number and get the money in this one. Make the play on Georgia Tech.
