Virginia, however, has received a respectable 53.39 percent of the moneyline volume for the game, but the number of moneyline bets really solidify where the betting public is leaning.
In Auburn’s last 7 games no opponent has reached its scoring average, and that is the case in 10 of their last 11 games. Not just a 3 point shooting team...
