Bet on Virginia vs. Florida State
Florida State has won the last two meetings with Virginia, but the two haven’t met since 2016. Florida State has an offense that could cause problems for Virginia, but the Cavs have been so locked in that I am going to continue to ride their hot streak. They have kept their last 10 opponents under 65 points, which includes a road trip at Duke and a home game with UNC. If someone is going to find a weakness in the FSU offense, it is Virginia. The public betting is strongly with Virginia tonight as well.
