If you bet on the total for Saturday’s Virginia-Miami game, you’re either celebrating an unthinkable win or an unbelievable loss. To put it nicely, the Cavaliers and Hurricanes played an incredibly weird game.
The ordinary viewer was likely very bored watching this game, but the viewer who bet on this low-scoring game almost certainly was invested (and confused) throughout.
Through four 15-minute quarters and four overtime periods of ACC football, there were a total of zero touchdowns scored, zero turnovers forced and 14 punts between the two teams that left the scoreboard reading Miami — 14, Virginia — 12 at the end of the game.
The 26 combined points between Miami and Virginia were 22.5 short of the 48.5-point over/under.
Somehow, it ended up being a great day for under bettors.
