Why #1 Virginia Cavaliers are a good bet -8.5?

Is Virginia a safe bet in the March Madness odds for the Sweet 16?

Virginia faces the Pac 12’s top squad on Thursday, but the Cavaliers have answered the bell pretty much any time their opponent has rung it this season. UVA’s only lost to Duke twice and Florida State once this season.

The Cavaliers took apart Webber State 71-56 before throttling Oklahoma 63-51. Virginia’s defense is almost impenetrable. Oregon should find it difficult to get their running game. That will give the edge to Virginia.

Oregon vs Virginia Final March Madness Betting Analysis

The Virginia Cavaliers are an excellent basketball team, no doubt, but when they’ve had trouble this season, it’s been against a team that can get out and play with pace. That’s the Oregon Ducks. The Ducks play defense like the Cavaliers, shutting teams down, but they’ll take more chances than UVA in the run game.

Although often that’s led to Virginia dominating their opponents, Oregon’s playing too well for the Cavaliers to dominate them. The Ducks head into their Sweet 16 battle having won their last 10 games. What’s really surprising is how Oregon’s held 8-of-10 opponents to 54 points or less. The Ducks should frustrate Virginia while they’ve got better shooters. Oregon upsets the Cavaliers straight up.
