Why Virginia will cover

Coppin State vs Virginia Prediction
Virginia was able to get the win in their first game of the season, but it wasn’t pretty against a bad team. The Cavaliers had a ton of distractions prior to the season with their coach retiring, so I do think they will play better as the season goes on. Coppin State already has three losses on the season and they have yet to score more than 53 points in a game. I think the Eagles are going to have major issues scoring in this matchup and I think they could end in the 40’s. Take the under here.
