After back-to-back games against top-10 teams, No. 4 Virginia gets a slight reprieve when it hosts a Fighting Irish team that is 3-9 Against The Spread in their last 12 on Saturday afternoon, just two days before facing yet another ranked squad.
UVA is a big -17 point home favorite in this one. The Cavs destroyed Notre Dame back in January on the road 82-55. The Irish are not a terrible team as they sit two games above the .500 mark. The Fighting Irish will be one of only three unranked conference opponents Virginia (21-2, 9-2) tangles with in the month of February. The Fighting Irish are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
