Virginia Tech has failed to cover in its last four games. The Hokies had trouble with Pitt over the weekend and before that they couldn't put away Georgia Tech. And before that was back-to-back losses against Clemson and Louisville. Virginia doesn't mess around. Its only two losses came against Duke, and the Hokies are no Duke. Virginia gets the cover here.
This meager total is an obvious byproduct of the game featuring two of the top defensive clubs in the country. However, these rivals also know the best way to attack the opposition is to get in transition and in finding quick shots before the defense sets. Both are better offensively than perception suggests, and they combined for 150 points in the first meeting. The Hokies and Cavaliers also tend to come back strong after a flat performance and both were below par in victories Saturday.
