Scotland (-9) to beat Italy 1/1 1 unit

If Italy attempt the same style of kicking game that they used against England they will get punished, Scotland's best attacking threats are in their backline. Italy lack the great defenders that allowed Wales to stop the Scots from netting any tries, and any indiscipline will be turned into points by Paterson.

Italy are not starting Pez again, so they don't have an even halfway good goalkicker. They still have trouble moving the ball from one side to another (improving though with the return of Troncon) so I don't see them scoring much.
