North Carolina Tar Heels vs Virginia Cavaliers prediction

The North Carolina Tar Heels are the more talented team that's proven they can win on the road, and they'll have no problem here if the Cavs offensive issues continue. Virginia has scored 63 or fewer points in each of its last three games. Gross. With that said, the Virginia Cavaliers are still a nightmare defensively, and they are 14-1 SU at the John Paul Jones Arena. Don't count out Virginia just yet, folks. The value is with the free buckets and the home team, as Virginia won't go down quietly and can still ugly up a game to steal a win.
