Duke at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia Tech 24, Duke 20

Moneyline

PASS.

While this could be a good opportunity to make money on Duke at +270, Georgia Tech is 10-1 under coach Brent Key following a loss while their offense is also one of only 3 teams in the nation to have not allowed a sack.

Duke mounted a 21-0 run last week to come back and beat UNC and has not lost a game this season. It has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 games including both games this season as an underdog. It has also scored 26 points or more in 4 of its 5 games. Georgia Tech has failed to cover the spread in 2 of its last 3 weeks and has allowed 31 points in each of those 2 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 53.5 (-115).

The Yellow Jackets have hit the Under in 4 of their 5 games this season while scoring 28 or fewer points in 3 of their 5 games. The Blue Devils have failed to hit the Over in 2 of their last 3 weeks and have allowed 21 or fewer points in each game this season.

Duke at Georgia Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Duke at Georgia Tech odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 25 Duke Blue Devils (14-5, 5-4 ACC) will try to remain in the top 25 against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (8-12, 1-9) in Atlanta Saturday at 3 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the  Duke vs. Georgia Tech odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

No. 25 Duke comes into this contest after losing 78-75 on the road against Virginia Tech Monday as 2.5-point underdogs. This game came at an additional cost as SF Dariq Whitehead was injured and will miss time. His absence will be felt on the scoreboard for Duke, who is already lacking in this department at only 72.2 points per game.

The Yellow Jackets average 68.9 points on offense this season. The defense of Duke, which ranks 49th in the nation, is allowing only 64.3 points. This does not bode well for a Georgia Tech team looking to gain its 2nd conference victory. With the talent gap in this game being so large, it will be difficult to make shots for Georgia Tech. GT has struggled in this area all season at 42.1%, which is only 307th in the country and another day of bad shooting can be in store once again in Atlanta.

Duke at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Duke 70, Georgia Tech 64

Moneyline

PASS.

Despite playing without Whitehead, Duke is the far superior team. I am still not willing to spend more than 5-to-1 to make a play on them though.

Against the spread

GEORGIA TECH +8.5 (+100) is the spread wager to make.

Duke has been terrible in recent games against the spread. It is 0-6 in its last 6 road games and 0-6 overall.

Playing their first game without Whitehead could take some adjustment time for the Blue Devils, and it would be a risky play to count on them in this one.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-105) for the total here.

While the Yellow Jackets have gone Over in their last 4 games overall, Duke is coming in looking to just gain a victory here in its first game without Whitehead. It will look to clamp down on defense and should have no trouble doing this against an overmatched Georgia Tech. The 248th ranked Yellow Jackets offense will struggle against the Blue Devils defense, which is only allowing 64.2 points. This one will stay Under the 137.5 total.
