Unlike many of its ACC peers, Virginia has mostly avoided major disasters so far this season. That puts the Cavaliers in a leading position for the many remaining ACC championship scenarios.
But one key regular-season game remains, and it’s sure to haunt UVA fans.
The Commonwealth Cup has been dreadfully one-sided for the last quarter century. Be very careful before dismissing Virginia Tech football odds out of hand this week.

Virginia vs. Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech is 19-1 outright against UVA in its last 20 games. The lone loss in that stretch came in 2019.
The Hokies have been good. The Hokies have been mid. The Hokies have been bad. But through it all, they generally beat Virginia.
Virginia Tech has been mostly bad over the last decade, which has made them a particularly undervalued bet in this rivalry. Since 2016, Virginia Tech is 7-1 ATS, including 3-1 ATS in road games at UVA. In 2023, the last game in Charlottesville, Virginia Tech covered as a two-point favorite in a 55-17 beatdown.
The case for UVA is that the Cavaliers are coming off a bye and can finally stomp on the Hokies at the end of a miserable season in Blacksburg. But be especially careful around betting justifications that UVA has “more to play for.”
This is Rivalry Week in college football. Everyone has plenty to play for.
