  • The Virginia Tech Hokies are off to Tobacco Road to take on the Duke Blue Devils. The Hokies are riding high after knocking off in-state rival Virginia and have won five of their last six conference games. V-Tech opened as an 11-point dog to upset the Dookies.

    SHARK BITES
    • Duke is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games vs Virginia Tech.
    • The total has gone UNDER in 11 of Virginia Tech’s last 14 games vs Duke.
    • Virginia Tech is 4-1 ATS in its last five games.

    The Blue Devils have looked out of sorts recently, dropping three of their last five games and falling to 12th in the national rankings. Duke is 8-4 SU in conference games this season and will welcome a return to Cameron Indoor Stadium, where they are 13-1 SU in 14 games. The Blue Devils will also be short-handed in the frontcourt as superstar freshman Marvin Bagley III has been ruled out with a knee injury.

    Virginia Tech is 7-5 SU in ACC play this season and has been one of the hottest teams from behind the arc in its conference, averaging 39 percent from three, tops in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Hokies have also been a decent spread bet vs Duke, covering in three of the last four games in this matchup.

    The total opened at 163 and while that may seem like a high number for college basketball, these are two teams that could get bettors a payout. Duke is the second highest scoring team in the country, averaging just under 89 points per game, and the OVER has hit in three of its last four games. When you factor in that the OVER has hit in four of the Hokies’ last five games on the road, this game could be an offensive explosion waiting to happen.

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick

    The Virginia Tech Hokies opened as 11-point underdogs in this one at most sportsbooks tracked at OddsShark, including Sportsbook. The total was set to open a bit later (check out Sportsbook for the latest situation).
