Boston College at Duke

Do you think Duke is going to be up for this game?  The Blue Devils have two big games on deck at Virginia and the revenge game with Miami at home. Duke was in a similar sandwich spot two weeks ago when they played BC. The Blue Devils beat rival NC State, then played at BC with a rivalry game on deck against North Carolina. As an 11-point favorite Duke squeezed out a 62-61 win. In that game, the Eagles slowed the pace down and held Duke to 40% shooting. Boston College led by five points with 2:15 left. BC has been undervalued, as they are on a 4-2 ATS run and has won two of the last three games, beating Wake Forest and a 69-58 win over Maryland in a pick'em game. BC has a good young punch of freshman Olivier Hanlan and 6-8 soph Reggie Anderson, playing tough defense and great at the free throw line, 72% (second in the ACC) which helps in late covers. The Eagles are 8-3 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 4-1 ATS in their last five versus a team with a winning record. The underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings and BC is 6-2 ATS the last eight meetings. Play Boston College.
