Our Virginia Cavaliers vs West Virginia Mountaineers Prediction
Virginia is a double-digit favorite in this game; however, they still look to be the best betting option. For one, the Cavaliers have already been among the top defensive teams in the league, as they are allowing just 5.5 points per game. One of these games was against Norfolk State, where they allowed 3 points, but the other was against an ACC team, NC State, where they allowed just 8 points.
Further, besides the blowout win against UT Martin, West Virginia only beat Coastal Carolina by a touchdown (31-24). Ultimately, Virginia’s defense looks to be the biggest advantage in this game; therefore, our West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Virginia Cavaliers prediction is: Virginia Cavaliers -9.5 Alternate Spread.
