DraftKings · as of July 10, 2026

Virginia defeated Coastal Carolina 48–7 in a dominant performance. Virginia covered by 28.5; Game went Under by 2.5. The market closed at Virginia -12.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Virginia -25.8 - a gap of 13.3 points toward Virginia, of which 12.6 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge.
