Syracuse vs. Virginia: Hoos Open as 8.5-Point Favorites Over Orange

When the Syracuse Orange played on the road this past weekend, Vegas said they'd be an underdog and we all laughed.

Well, we're not laughing anymore.

And we're not laughing now that Vegas has installed the 1-4 Virginia Cavaliers as an 8.5-point favorite over the Orange headed into their game on Saturday.

So, #UVA opens as an 8.5-pt. home favorite against Syracuse, which is an interesting line for a lot of reasons. #Hoos

The Cavs are having a miserable season so far but a lot of that has to do with their schedule, which is John & I's worst nightmare.
