The #21 Virginia Cavaliers (16-3) hit the road to take on the N.C. State Wolfpack (15-6) on Saturday, and this clash looks like it could go either way if you listen to Las Vegas.
The sportsbooks have the Wolfpack as a 2.5-point favorite with a total of 122 despite the fact that Virginia’s 9-5 record against the odds easily bests the 8-9 mark that N.C. State has amassed this year.
The Cavaliers have gone under the total in 12 of their 14 lined games this year, while the Wolfpack have gone over in 10 of their 17.
Although Virginia is considered to be the superior team at this juncture of the season, they are underdogs here because N.C. State has put up an impressive 11-3 mark that home.
The Cavaliers have been solid at 6-2 when traveling, but they have been the favorite in almost all of their road tilts.
