    Is Miami that good or is the last game in the Orange Bowl worth 6+ points? Or just a sucker bet?

    I'm not betting this game, but Virginia has played games close all year, just take a look at the scores: 17-16, 24-29, 18-17, 17-16, and 23-21. Those are their last 5 games. Also, they are not very good this year against the spread: 4-6. They might pull out the win here, but I'm done betting when Virginia is involved. GL if you play it this week.

      no miami isn't really that good and virginia has the capability of playing well on the road but the bottom line is when you ask yourself why- the reason always reveals itself on saturday (see my posts on clemson and arkansas from the past 2 weeks). i'm looking at tennessee this week thinking the same thing bro. take the 'canes to the house.

        I usually don't do this but, this is one of those games I'd definitely stay away from. Kinda like what manny says these games tend to reveal the why on saturday. But UV has covered the last 2 against the canes and they beat the canes outright last year 17-7.

          just looked at this again and still can't believe it! i changed my mind, the 'canes are so bad- i can't give an 8-2 virginia team any points here. seaborn is right- sucker bet. miami makes me want to

            Here is the NUMBER ONE reason to bet on Miami this week:

              This is the last game in the OB. Miami should be up for it.

                I had a lean on Miami FL, but ended up just passing on the game.

                Last game in the Orange Bowl. It is going to be tough for Virginia to sneak out with one of those one point victories.
