The Virginia Cavaliers opened as two-point underdogs in their week 2 road game at Wake Forest this Saturday at 7pm. After opening the 2024 season with a 34-13 victory over Richmond last weekend, UVA is a slight underdog for its ACC opener and first road game of the season.

Caesars, Bet365, and DraftKings have Wake Forest favored by two points, while FanDuel and BetMGM have the Demon Deacons as 2.5-point favorites over the visiting Cavaliers. The over/under is 54.0 or 54.5 depending on the sportsbook. See the table below for the spread, moneyline, and over/under for Virginia at Wake Forest according to the major sportsbooks:
