State has cooled down this month, they are still averaging a healthy 77.9 PPG in the month of January. They feature a well rounded team who shares the ball with a variety of creators and shooters. They are also very adept at creating turnovers and getting out in transition, which will be tough against a grinding and fundamental offense like Virginia, who averages a paltry 8 turnovers per game. <\/p>\n<p>While Virginia has an identity in their methodical offense and stifling defense, they are more than capable of opening it up and creating offense at will as evidenced in the Duke game last week. These two teams probably meet in the middle somewhere, as Virginia is more comfortable playing N.C. State\u2019s game than vice versa. N.C. State owns an average scoring margin of +22.9 this season, but are only +0.2 in their last 5 games and even in their 3 conference home games, while Virginia owns an average scoring margin of +18 points on the road in conference play and +16 points in their last 3 games. <\/p>\n<p>8 points is a healthy margin for a top 25 matchup, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/reviews\/gtbets\">Virginia\u2019s smothering defense and disciplined offense should pull this out no problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Pick:<\/strong> Virginia Cavaliers (-8)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday night pits two ACC rivals against each other in a matchup of ranked opponents as Virginia goes on the road to face upstart N.C.
