Thoughts on opening spread vs UVA?
About a month ago (when VT was obviously playing at a vastly different level), FanDuel had UVA pegged as a 7 point favorite, but has since been taken down. I do not believe there are any posted spreads at this point... Obviously the games this weekend will impact line, but if a line was set at this point in time, what do you think it would be? I'd think you'd see Virginia as a 1 to 3 point favorite, though I don't think UVA's injury-riddled secondary would be properly accounted for. With 4 of Virginia's top 5 DB's out for the year, getting Heskin Smith back last week was massive and potentially season saving as Jaylon Baker would be abused by VT's wideouts.
I would also be curious as to over/under with both offenses coming to life as of late... I will be intrigued if Farley covers Reed or Dubois and how Jana's sudden emergence (22 catches the last two games) plays into the gameplan for both teams. Early thought is a 27-24 coin flip of a game.
