How to make Virginia vs. NC State picks

SportsLine's model is going Under on the total (153.5 points). NC State has seen five of its past seven games go Under the total, including its ACC opener against Wake Forest. That game saw just 127 combined points as the Under cleared with more than 30 points to spare. 

Two of the past three UVA games have gone Under the total as well. The Cavaliers give up just 68.7 points per game and have strong rebounding and blocked shot numbers, so they should be able to put up some resistance on the road against NC State's high-flying offense. The model is projecting 153 combined points, making the Under the slight value side. 

The model also says one side of the spread hits well over 50% of the time. You can only see that pick at SportsLine.

So who wins NC State vs. Virginia, and which side of the spread hits well over 50% of the time? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the spread to back, all from the advanced model that has simulated this game 10,000 times, and find out.
