Duke at Georgia Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 80, Georgia Tech 61
Moneyline
PASS.
The Blue Devils (-1400) are a far superior side but certainly aren’t worth a play at this price. While Georgia Tech (+800) is an ACC side, it likely isn’t capable of pulling off the upset. AVOID a moneyline play.

Against the spread
BET DUKE -14.5 (-115).
The Blue Devils are 4-2 ATS as double-digit favorites. They are 2-0 ATS on the road, winning at Arizona by 14 as 2-point underdogs and at Louisville by 11 as 8.5-point favorites. Duke has the firepower to keep the foot on the gas as well with 7 players averaging more than 7 points per game.
Georgia Tech, at the same time, has struggled immensely both at home and as an underdog. Tech is 1-4 ATS as an underdog. It has also topped 65 points just once in the 5 games in which it has been an underdog.
Considering these trends, BACK DUKE -14.5 (-115).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 144.5 (-115).
If there’s one thing both teams can undoubtedly agree on, it is going Under the projected total. The Yellow Jackets are 4-7 O/U in their 11 games on the season and 0-5 O/U in games as underdogs.
Duke, despite its wide array of scoring, has defended well enough to consistently go Under. It is 3-8 O/U and has held its opponents to 47 or fewer in 2 straight games. It has gone Under in 8 of its last 9.
PLAY UNDER 144.5 (-115).
