Betting on the Duke Blue Devils
- Regular Season Record: 14-6
It hasn’t been a very smooth ride so far for the Blue Devils in the 2022-23 college basketball season, as they have already picked up six losses. Nevertheless, Duke is always a force to reckon with, especially in the ACC.
However, the Blue Devils just lost to the Virginia Tech Hokies on the road last Monday, 78-75, to send Duke back to the drawing board. Speaking of which, the Blue Devils always find a way to win after a loss this season. In fact, they have yet to lose consecutive games this season.
Duke, which is #1 in the ACC with a 34.5 ORB% and 12th nationally with 39.6 rebounds per game, is 5-5 ATS in its last 10 meetings with the Yellow Jackets.
Betting on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
- Regular Season Record: 8-12
Georgia Tech is having a much rougher season than the Blue Devils. The Yellow Jackets only have eight wins overall and only one of those victories was against an ACC team. Plus, Georgia Tech is on a six-game winless streak after losing to the Clemson Tigers on the road last Tuesday.
The only win Georgia Tech has so far in ACC play this season was a 76-70 victory at home earlier this month of January against the Miami Hurricanes. Making that win even more notable is the fact that it’s against a then #12 Canes squad.
Georgia Tech, which averages 67.6 points per contest on 41.7 FG%, has covered the spread in four of its last five games against the Blue Devils.
JefeBet Prediction
While they’re inconsistent this season, the Blue Devils should be able to take care of the Yellow Jackets – a team that doesn’t seem to have any sense of direction. Taking Duke to win by double-digits.
Prediction: Duke wins by at least 7 points.
