Virginia is on fire and plays very good defense. Virginia won 23 games last year and was a Top 40 team who went 11-7 in conference play. Virginia is also a top 40 offensive team. Syracuse is a dynamic team, but with Virginia being 14-1 in conference play, with their sole loss to Duke on the road by just 4 points, a team that has steadily gotten better with a coach who is as humble and steady as it comes who has built this program from the ground up, look for Virginia to be more than ready for this contest. Virginia is the better team here and if Syracuse found the contests at Maryland, Pittsburgh and Duke tough, Virginia might be the toughest test of them all on the road. Virginia has been the best team in the ACC Vs the spread coming in at 12-3-1 in ACC play. UVA is strong defensively and has Syracuse beat in rebounding and field goal %. This is a huge game for UVA and I love them at home to get us the cash
