Virginia Has Issues

Coming into the season, most knew that Virginia might have some issues, and so far that has proved to be the case. Virginia has a losing record, and they were knocked off again in the last game. Virginia faced off against the Louisville Cardinals and they scored 67 points, but the defense gave up 71 points and that led to the defeat. At halftime, they were down 39-28 and in the second half, they couldn’t bounce back. Elijah Saunders did have a strong game putting up 19 points, 10 rebounds, and one assist.

Boston College vs Virginia Prediction 

These are both teams that haven’t been very good this season, and I don’t really have an interest in trusting either of these teams. That being said,  just don’t really trust this Virginia team, even at home. Virginia is averaging only 61.3 points per game and their offense isn’t going to be good enough here. Boston College’s offense might not run up the score, but they are going to score enough to cover the spread. Back Boston College against the spread.
