For a number of different reasons I feel the value in this game is on the visitors: Although the Cavaliers or 0-3 to start the season, they are coming off a bye-week and I look for them to be prepared as they head into their matchup vs. North Carolina. After two-sub par games to begin the season whey they only scored 14 points in each, Virginia broke out in its last game with 34 points, but still came away with a loss as Southern Mississippi put up 37. I look for head coach Al Groh to continue to build confidence in his offense though and to implement the same offensive scheme that they used against Southern Mississippi in this weeks contest. While Virginia is 0-5 SU its last five overall, it’s an awesome 10-1 ATS its last 11 vs. North Carolina. After winning their first three games for the first time in 12 years, the Tar Heels fell flat against the Yellow Jackets and lost their ACC opener for the ninth consecutive year last week. They generated only 154 yards in total offense and were down 17-0 before scoring on a long pass play in the fourth quarter. Virginia has had great success vs. North Carolina, and coming off their bye-week, I look for the well-rested CAVALIERS to keep it just close enough to come away with the ATS victory and look for North Carolina to fall to 1-2 ATS this year as a favorite.
