Duke's
coming off their first
defeat of the season
and now get a surprisingly
good Tech team. The Hokies,
expected to finish last
in the ACC this season
are right behind Duke.
Virginia Tech, coming
off five straight wins, is
5-1 ATS
versus good defensive
teams (allowing <64
points/game) over the
last 3 seasons. Duke
is 2-14
ATS in
home games when playing
against a good team (Win
Pct. 60% to 80%) over
the last 3 seasons. Tech
is 5-1 ATS as an underdog
this season and also
5-1 ATS in conference
games. Their play along
with Duke's loss will
give them a bit of confidence
here and keep this one
close enough for the
cover. Two stars on the
Hokies.
