Duke will win this game by a minimum of 16 points. Simply said Duke is better at all of the facets of the game and we do not see even one part of the game siding with V-tech. The model shows that Duke will hit between 31 and 37% of 3-point shots attempted and will hold V-tech to less than 40% shooting. In past games against similar opponents and results, Duke is 7-1 ATS this season ad 17-6 ATS the past 3 seasons when the hit 3-pointers at a 31 to 37% clip. They are also 8-1 ATS this season and 16-5 ATS the past 3 seasons when they hold their opponent to less than 40% shooting. Va-tech is a strong defensive team as defined by many of their season team statistics, but Duke plays their best against similar teams. Note that Duke is 8-1 ATS in home games versus good defensive teams allowing <=64 points/game over the last 3 seasons. Take Duke -13.5

agreed VT can't score the ball well and Duke gets every single call at home.........Duke wins it in the high teens

Guys it's tough to give VT 13.5 ,that said it seems like the books are really wanting you take the 13.5

I'm loving Duke today. Why is the public all over Va Tech in this one? Everybody continues to go against Duke when they're a DD home fav & they always get burned. I hope they keep pounding Va Tech so I can get Duke at a better number.

By the way KTS that was a word for word write up posted by John Ryan that I also read earlier today. I agree with it but at least re-write it so the plagiarism isn't so obvious.
