Why Virginia Cavaliers' fast-paced offense makes them the pick over Maryland at -5.5
What I like most about the Cavaliers, aside from an incredibly efficient offense that is shooting 50% from the field, is that they are averaging 22.8 assists per game.
Key points
- The Big 10 is tough enough with the likes of Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana, and Illinois, but even some of the lower-level teams are talented enough to give Maryland fits.
- Now this is a fast-paced offensive team, but they still have some solid defense.
- I recognize that they are on the road and facing a team off a loss, but I'm not sure the talent is there for Maryland to really make this a game.
The Virginia Cavaliers come into the season ranked as the sixth-best team in the country, and so far, they've been perfect.

Additional details
- Tonight is a fun matchup between Virginia and Maryland.
- It has been a fun start to the season, and we've done fairly well with the few plays that I've shared so far, but we want to build that bankroll for March Madness, which feels far away and extremely close all at the same time.
- The Cavaliers are moving the ball very well, playing solid enough defense, and shooting extremely efficiently.
- The books seem to think this will be a close game because Virginia is only favored by -5.5.
- Unfortunately for them, they couldn't keep that success against Georgetown.
