PointsBet has UofL over/under at 5.5. Big yikes! A lot of folks on here haven’t really looked at our opponents. The thoughts of 8-9 wins are mostly wishful thinking I’m afraid.
We have 3 games against very poor teams. Cuse, USF and JMU. 2 games against teams we will be heavily favored in BC and UVA. That is 5 wins.
ESPN's FPI rankings of the other 7 games 4 Clem, 9 Pitt, 20 UK, 26 NCst, 30 Wake, 31 FSU, 33 UCF and 36 UofL
no way we go 0-7 against that group. We get Pitt, NCst, Wake and FSU at home.
If it is 5.5, I will take the over all day.
I think todays defensive line commitment moves that to 6.5. Think how our pass rush ran out of steam against Wake, FSU, and Virginia
Yeah I didn't get that. When have we ever been heavily favored over Virginia?With UVA getting their QB back and the game being in Charlottesville I find it hard to believe we’d be heavily favored

Heavily was probably the wrong word. I was thinking 4-5 pts. Armstrong is back, but they lose all 5 starters on the Oline. Given UVA's schedule, they should be 5-0 going into our game, so it may be closer to a pick'em.With UVA getting their QB back and the game being in Charlottesville I find it hard to believe we’d be heavily favored
