A big rivalry game will be decided on Sunday as the Virginia Tech Hokies (11-7) hit the road to take on the #17 Virginia Cavaliers (15-2).
Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM ET, and Las Vegas has the home-team Cavaliers as a 7.5-point favorite with a low total of 115 points.
One of the biggest reasons that Virginia is such a big favorite is due to their 9-0 record at home this year.
The Hokies have managed to accumulate just a 3-4 mark when traveling this year, and although they won’t have to go far for this 6:00 PM ET game they will still be on the road.
