Why bet on the Syracuse Orange?
Syracuse saw their season get off to a strong start with a 6-game winning streak, but they ran into a wall in their first game against a ranked opponent, which ended with a 76-60 loss to Kentucky. It has been their recent form that has been the most troubling, though, as they have lost 3 of their last 5 games, with 2 of those losses coming against conference foes that they might have been expected to beat. The one thing that Syracuse cannot get sucked into in this one is an offensive battle, as this is a team that is managing just 70 PPG this season. The Orange are a defensively solid unit, and their 62.2 PPG allowed has them in the top 20 in that particular defensive category. If they can frustrate the Cavaliers on the defensive end, they might be able to keep this thing close for an extended period of time.Team Statistics

Why bet on the Virginia Cavaliers?
The Virginia Cavaliers are ranked #3 in the nation, sporting a 14-1 record through their first 14 games. Their lone loss of the season came at the hands of the West Virginia Mountaineers, a team that is now ranked #2 overall, which should give you an idea of just how good this basketball team has been this season.
You can argue that they have only played two ranked teams so far, but if their 61-49 win over UNC in their last game is anything to go by, this is a team that is gathering some steam as they head into the heart of conference play. The Cavaliers have now played 3 games in the ACC, coming away with a perfect record in those starts.
They are another team that does not score a lot, averaging 70.9 PPG, but breaking them down on the defensive side of the court is proving to be tough, as they are first in the nation with a 52.5 PPG against average.
