Va Tech +4.5

cleaveland · 02-02-12, 05:14 AM

According to vegasinsider the average line on the net is Duke -4.5 yet it's between Duke -3 and Duke -4.5 in Vegas. I don't remember seeing something like that for such a high profile game, it could be meaningless but I think it bodes well for your play. BOL

Its VT's game to cover. They will struggle offensively. Nevertheless, it take a massive effort, which they did vs Virginia last week. The effort vs Virginia surprised me, while showing me they are capable.

Did you see how pissed off coach k was after last game? He was furious they blew a 20 pt lead....I don't see this being close ever....vt has lost 6 of 8 and found themselves down by 20 to MD...bol but I hammered duke at -4

If u can't see that Duke is a sucker bet here you are the sucker. It does not mean they wont or can't win by 20. These are the types of games the public short favorite loses. Good luck!

No way I bet Duke in this one. Most overrated team in the country, IMO. If Virginia Tech smells blood, they will have a good chance of winning this game, and salvaging some respect in conference play in front of the home crowd. Coach K might be really mad when this one ends too.

V t sucks a lot

I just took BYU -3 also. Gonzagas road loss to Illinois is beginning to look worse. BYU is typically a monster @ home. Also, Gonzaga has not played there in 13 years.

Don't disagree with your play but how is the loss at Illinois starting to look worse? If anything it is starting to look a lot better after Illinois beat OSU and Mich St at home.

ksnooksk · 02-02-12, 12:30 PM

Duke wins by 10

GoBlue23 · 02-02-12, 12:33 PM

Like both of these...Duke gives at least 2pts aginast the line in every game based on name alone, and BYU is very tough at home

Betn247 · 02-02-12, 12:39 PM

The only way the only way VT wins this game is if they shoot 45% or better from three which they are capable of and Duke can give that up, but seriously did you all not read the interview with coah k after the game......I may be a sucker but I am gonna stick with Duke.....Tech has lost three straight at home and 6 of 7.....

Illinois has been bad overall, and were Dogs in both Home games mentioned above. Mich St best player went down early v Illnois, and both teams looked horrible. Illinois has not been impressive in either win. They are bad. Although the situation with my VT bet is a similar situation Michigan St v Illini game.

VT @ home against UNC +6.5, lost by 12........seems like a similar game to me

Calling Illinois bad is just silly. That word is reserved for teams like Penn St or Boston College. It's not as though it is Illinois fault for Draymond getting into foul trouble and getting a stupid technical. They are a middle of the road big ten squad, similar to Purdue, Indiana or Minnesota. Tonight's Duke/VaTech game to me comes down to VaTech's outside shooting. I will be on Duke's side tonight, looking forward to the game, crowd should be rocking.

I hear you, but, I read the other forums too, and trust me, there is a lot of love tonight for Va. Tech, more love than you might think.

I don't want any part of this game.

DavieVegas · 02-02-12, 01:38 PM

Ya, I like duke here. I don't think this will be as close as people think. BUT still not touching it lol

If you are referring to Draymond Green, he wasn't hurt until inside the final 3 minutes of the game.

VaTech Wow they blow, but thanks BYU for saving my day.

There was just too much love for Va. Tech yesterday.

Looks like squares trying to be sharps took it on the chin last night, they would have been better off remaining the square bettors that they are.

After all, sharps and steam don't always win, and the public does get to the pay window every now and then.
