Duke has been an exceptional home team for years under Coach K, and the best Duke teams have been very good on the road as well. This is a Duke team that is a notch below the teams Coach K has put on the floor over the last 15 years or so. The Dukies actually have a negative scoring margin on the road in the ACC this season and just a 4-4 overall record. They only beat the teams at the bottom of the conference on the road by 10+. Boston College owns a win over Duke this season, so there certainly won't be any intimidation factor at work here. The Eagles have proven that they can play with the best as they not only have a win over Duke they have one over North Carolina as well. Boston College has fared well over the years in neutral-site games posting a 21-8 ATS record in their last 29. This year's team is no exception, having gone 3-0 ATS. The Eagles have also fared well against the Blue Devils going 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings. This line is a high "reputation" line, offering value on the Eagles and I'll ride with them in this one.
