PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes SMU Mustangs to win.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

• Kevin Jennings' experience and SMU's ACC-leading passing scoring.
• SMU's 9-0 ACC home record at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
• SMU's elite third-down defense against Virginia's weaker third-down conversion rate.
• Virginia's extensive injuries, including secondary and skill-position absences.
• SMU had a bye while Virginia traveled to Dallas after playing the prior week.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Virginia led the ACC in passing defense and passing defense, directly challenging SMU's primary offensive strength.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

• Virginia had committed only two turnovers through six games, limiting a potential SMU defensive advantage.
• Both teams' raw scoring requires strength-of-schedule caution because of lower-level opponents on their schedules.

BOTTOM LINE

Kevin Jennings' experience and SMU's ACC-leading passing scoring. The concern: Virginia led the ACC in passing defense and passing defense, directly challenging SMU's primary offensive strength.
