Virginia Tech at Duke

Duke may have won last night against Maryland, but it wasn't easy. Things took a scary turn when Nolan Smith went down with an ankle sprain. He may be hobbling or out for this one, but not at full strength. With his quickness one of his biggest edges, that could be missing here. The Hokies at 21-10, are still hanging around the bubble, but yesterday's win could have them on the plus side of the bubble coming into this one. Tech beat Duke this season, so the intimidation factor will be far from making an appearance. The Hokies are riding a 7-1-1 ATS mark when posted as a dog from 7-12.5, while Duke is just 3-7 ATS in the same range as chalk. Virginia Tech gets the nod.
