The Virginia Cavaliers have started the season with six straight victories, and they're coming off a pair of particularly impressive triumphs against Vanderbilt and Rhode Island to claim the NIT Tip-off tournament, winning by 26 and 15 points respectively as 6-point favorites. They've won all their games by nine points or more while holding opponents to 52.3 points per game. I think they'll keep rolling here when taking on the Wisconsin Badgers home at John Paul Jones Arena Monday night.

Wisconsin had lost three straight games before cruising to a 71-49 win as a 16.5-point favorite against Milwaukee, but we can note that the Badgers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

My selection is an 8* play on Virginia Cavaliers.
