Why Virginia Can Cover
Virginia has a strong defense, which helps them when they travel to play other conference teams. Opponents are scoring just 18.3 points per game against the Cavaliers, and they are averaging less than 200 passing yards per game. Even though the Orange are successful through the air, their 3.9 yards per carry average provides Virginia with a path to victory.
Virginia is scoring 413.3% of the time and has done so in all three games this season. The Cavaliers have also topped 500 yards of offense twice. Virginia’s ground game is above average, resulting in 176.7 yards per game on 46.7 carries (4.6 yards per carry). Keytaon
Thompson has accumulated over 1,200 receiving yards since the start of the 2021 season, and quarterback Brennan Armstrong has rushed for over 1,000 yards in his career. To start the 2022 season, Syracuse’s defense has allowed a completion percentage of 73.5%, and Armstrong is a veteran passer with explosive potential.

Why Syracuse Can Cover
Starting with Sean Tucker, Syracuse has some serious star power. In 2021, the talented running back racked up 12 rushing touchdowns and led the ACC in rushing yards with 1,496. Both Tucker and quarterback Garrett Shrader are off to strong starts this year, with Tucker totaling 378 yards so far. Shrader has thrown for 9.2 yards per attempt, scoring 8 touchdowns while throwing 0 picks. He has also rushed for 67 yards per game, scoring 3 times. The Orange’s 3-0 start is in large part due to their 44.1% success rate on third down.
The Orange will be facing a Virginia offense that has struggled, but Syracuse’s defense has been strong, allowing only 17.0 points and 100 rushing yards per game. Virginia’s only game against a Power 5 opponent, Illinois, resulted in a loss by a score of 3 points and 222 total yards, and the Cavaliers are completing less than 55% of their passes and have thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes.
How To make Virginia vs. Syracuse Picks
With each team expected to throw at least one interception, SportsLine’s model favors the Under on the point total. Another key prediction of the model is that in nearly 60% of hypothetical situations, only one side of the spread is successful. The model’s CFB predictions are exclusive to SportsLine.
