Well the time has come to get into ACC play for the Duke Blue Devils. Duke and Virginia Tech will tangle at Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday evening as both teams will be playing their first conference game of the year.
Both teams are playing pretty good ball with the only common opponent being Xavier. Duke beat Xavier 82-64 will the Hokies lost to Xavier 63-62 in overtime. Duke has a better overall record as well as they will be coming into the game with a 11-1 record while Tech comes into the game with a 9-4 record.
I look for the Blue Devils to win this game by eight to ten points. It seems when these two teams play each other, it is a tough and very physical game and I expect the score to stay close until Duke knocks down some free throws at the end of the game to seal the deal. Duke is currently favored by 16 points, so if you are a sports better, I’d be putting my money on Tech to cover this game.
Prediction: Duke 75 Virginia Tech 65
