4* Free 2024 Week 8 NCAA Betting Prediction: Virginia +21.5
The Tigers may have throttled Virginia 41-23 the last time they met, but this year’s Cavs are scrappier and will look to make it a tougher fight. And if you’re thinking about the moneyline, Virginia’s sitting at a juicy +931—definitely a longshot, but hey, crazier things have happened in college football!
Clemson, meanwhile, is a near-lock to win outright at -1798, but keep your eye on that 21.5-point line.
Our projections for this week eight matchup between Clemson and Virginia have the Tigers winning a close one, 26-24. With the Cavaliers coming in as +21.5 point underdogs, we like their chances to cover the spread.
For the over/under, with the line set at 57.5 points, our model suggests taking the under, as we see the combined score falling short of the line at 50 points.
Virginia will keep it close or sneak in some garbage-time points, which will make this a profitable play for those sharp enough to jump on the underdog action.
