DUKE -4.5 tonight

**beerman2619** · 02-26-11, 04:42 PM

Not sure about that Duke hasn't been that impressive at all this season. Especially on the road against a Hokies team that must win to get into tourney.

**Flight** · 02-26-11, 05:09 PM

Nope, Va Tech +5 is definitely the right side here.

Are you serious? most of the games they have played (sans their losses) have ended in double digit wins...what hasn't been impressive about them? I think 4 1/2 is a good spread for this one.

V tech plays them very well, yea...but Duke has won like 6 of the last 8 against Tech, I don't see this being as close as everyone expects it to be.

Duke is going to put it on them and Virginia Tech will choke like they do every single season in football and basketball. Somethings never change.

Not saying that Duke covers but to say that Duke hasn't been impressive is a little baffling. I'm pretty sure they are happy with 2 losses and ranked #1 in the nation with the #1 overall pick on the sidelines since early December.

Lay off the PBR.

Kind of like duke a little but its a tough match up for sure

we must be watching two different teams. I have watched every DUKE game this season all I see is a team trying to get nine guys playing time.

Kind of what I'm thinking. Something tells me VT could look good for about 36-37 minutes and then lose by 6 or 7.

I think they were pretty impressive in the second half against UNC...

Dukes the play here.

**Bones402** · 02-26-11, 05:39 PM

seems too good to be true and im a duke fan

**C-Gold** · 02-26-11, 05:40 PM

Virginia Tech sucks. You can't just put 5 thugs out there and roll out a basketball. Duke will win as VT is a team that always dissapoints in football and basketball. Losers.

very very tempting play on the Blue Devils.

I'm a Duke fan and I've seen most every game that has been on TV this year and I was thinking the line was a little short.

I know VT plays Duke tough, especially in Blacksburg...but it seems like the books are almost wanting you to take Duke. Maybe I'm overthinking this...wouldn't be the first time...

Yes. I got my ass handed to me a few years back on a small line when Duke played UNC the year they was terrible. I have had a good day already so might just put points on it.

Not a Hokie by any means...

But Frank Beamer has built a helluva football program at Va. Tech. Multiple ACC titles and they've played in multiple BCS's bowls...

To call them losers is ignorant.

ACC titles

What has the team ever won? Their quarterback has a bigger shoe size than IQ. Same problem Miami had. Ohhh, but their coach makes sure his team blocks a punt ever now and then. How come Boise State whooped Virginia Tech at Fed Ex field? VT can't win big games, they are natural born losers.

**No coincidences** · 02-26-11, 05:59 PM

The ML movement tells it all so far.

well...this may come as a surprise to you...but you can only win the conference title in the conference you play in...

While Boise did win the game, they had to score late in the 4th quarter to do it...that's hardly what I'd called being "whooped".

There are very few football programs in the country who wouldn't have been elated to have the success Beamer's had over the past decade or so...to think otherwise is just plain ignorant.

**MUHerd37** · 02-26-11, 06:04 PM

I'm not sure which is the right side. I would be hesitant in taking Va. Tech though. Hard to take a team that was swept by Virginia.

**C-Gold** · 02-26-11, 06:16 PM

Boise State traveled 2500 miles in a virtual road game at Fed Ex and beat VT handily. VT wasn't even close as Tyrod Taylor shot his team in the foot like he usually does. Oh, but he's going to be a better passer this year! Not.

How good was the Big East back in 2004? It was a 2 team conference. Virginia Tech has national championship hopes for some silly odd reason yet they can't get anyway near sniffing the title. Why, they are losers.

The basketball team? They are in a breeding ground to recruit thug after thug in the tidewater area and they can't even sniff the NCAA tournament? Why, they are losers.

Anybody who things otherwise is IG-NANT.

Their uniforms are poop stains and they are natural born losers. You could talk about winning regular season titles in B grade conferences.

**jjgold** · 02-26-11, 06:31 PM

Line seems low and looks to easy

What do you mean by this? ML went up while game line went down so Duke covers?

**nyed1010** · 02-26-11, 06:43 PM

thinking about going big on Duke here. This looks like one of those pseudo traps where everyone goes crazy about trap and be careful with road favs and then the favorite wins by 15. Duke or no play here.

**legendmatt34** · 02-26-11, 06:45 PM

Its a suckers bet. V tek wins

I only like line movement when the ML goes with it.

Greek's holding steady at Duke -200.

See, this guy gets it

**james4512** · 02-26-11, 07:05 PM

i know both these teams inside and out and replaying the game over and over in my head theres no way Va Tech even hangs with duke. They really struggle to score and curry will be all over delany and with the fast pace duke tends to play at, va tech only using 6 maybe 7 guys i just seeing them tanking in the 2h. I dont take road favs very often but i have to give this one a go too good to be true or not

**Shane** · 02-26-11, 07:17 PM

I like Duke here. Virginia Tech is a paper tiger year-in and year-out. Death, taxes, and Seth Greenberg bitching about not getting into the tournament.

**tony_come** · 02-26-11, 07:18 PM

leave this game alone ppl

public will be on duke

sharps will be on VT

I will take a hike

you clowns who has Duke beat this year. Most impressive win what K-state or Michigan St

. Getting waxed at home by Carolina before pulling it out in second half not bad. Beating Temple at home i guess impressive. Losing to Florida st on the road or getting blown out by St. Johns. Yeah this Duke team would probably win back to back championships if Irving was still playing but he is not. This Duke team has had one of the easiest schedules in the nation. Hookies win by 6 or so in this one.

**C-Gold** · 02-26-11, 07:38 PM

Should I play poker or watch the game tonight?

I put $50 bucks on Puke. Is it even worth watching the game?
