Duke's coming off their first defeat of the season and now get a surprisingly good Tech team. The Hokies, expected to finish last in the ACC this season are right behind Duke. Virginia Tech, coming off five straight wins, is 5-1 ATS versus good defensive teams (allowing <64 points/game) over the last 3 seasons. Duke is 2-14 ATS in home games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) over the last 3 seasons. Tech is 5-1 ATS as an underdog this season and also 5-1 ATS in conference games. Their play along with Duke's loss will give them a bit of confidence here and keep this one close enough for the cover. Two stars on the Hokies.
