College Football Free Pick: Take the under. Virginia has had some issues the past two weeks getting into a rhythm offensively. Coach Mike London and the Cavaliers hope that those problems will be ironed out tonight when they give Michael Rocco the majority of the snaps over freshman David Watford. Watford had been taking over under center in the fourth or fifth series of every game, but that seemingly led to issues with Rocco getting in and out of rhythm. Regardless, touchdowns may be hard to come by tonight as Virginia and Miami rank first and third in the ACC< respectively, in red zone defense. According latest college football trends, the under is 5-0 in the Cavaliers’ last five games overall and 4-0 in their last four games as an underdog. The under is also 8-2-1 in the Hurricanes’ last 11 games as a favorite and 21-7 in their last 28 games as a home favorite of 10.5 or greater.
