After a rough 0-2 start to ACC play, the Virginia Cavaliers (2-3, 0-2 ACC) return to Charlottesville for their first conference home game of the season against the Louisville Cardinals (2-3, 0-3 ACC) on Saturday at 12pm at Scott Stadium. 

For the third-consecutive game and fourth time this season, the oddsmakers have the Cavaliers as the underdog in the game, as UVA is currently a consensus 3.5-point underdog against Louisville. Virginia opened as a 5-point underdog on Caesars Sportsbook and a 5.5-point underdog on DraftKings, but both have since moved the line slightly in UVA's favor to +3.5. 

This is the first time Virginia is an underdog as home since the Cavaliers hosted Notre Dame last season in a game in which the Fighting Irish were favored by nine points. Notre Dame covered, beating UVA 28-3.
