Our California Golden Bears vs Virginia Cavaliers Prediction

Virginia has emerged as one of the top contenders in the ACC and, as such, is a small favorite to remain unbeaten in the conference against the Cal Golden Bears. The Cavaliers managed to survive against the North Carolina Tar Heels in overtime; however, they still look to be a solid betting option against the Golden Bears.

California, on the other hand, is coming off an ugly loss to Virginia Tech. The Golden Bears have now covered the spread in just one of their four conference games, while Virginia has covered the spread in three of their four conference games. 

Even though neither team looked its best last week, Virginia has still been the more consistent team and has found ways to win their games. For that reason, our Virginia Cavaliers vs California Golden Bears prediction is: Virginia Cavaliers ML.
