The Vegas Take

“The 5-2 Wahoos try to extend their lead in the Coastal Division as they travel to 4-3 Louisville this Saturday. The Cavaliers are coming off a big win at home against Duke and the Cards are coming off getting blown out by Clemson. This game opened UVA -3.5 with the total 55.5. No action or movement on the spread, but sharp money did hit the total under, as it now sits at 51.5. Side note: Louisville is 1-9 against the spread in its last 10.

My prediction: UVA 34-27.”
