I am not sure that I have the nuggets to play VA in this one...but they are definatly the "smart money" Duke is not a Top 15 team. At least not right now...and they are playing even worse on the road. They are immensly over-rated, and are now a 5 point chalk to Virginia on the road?!?! Virginia has a fairly large home court advantage...as does Duke, which means that VA and Duke both play MUCH better at home. Well this one is at VA, and VA is catching points against a struggling team. I will hopefully get the nuggets to play this one.
BUT the better option is the OVER!!! All 8 of the previous meetings including one this year would go over the current total of 156. Duke lets opponants shoot field goals over 47% on the road, and VA will take plenty of shots to cash in on that. This will be a high paced game for all 40 mins, and one team may even reach 100 points, as has seemed the norm in this series for about 4 years now.
I like Dukies to pull out a squeeker.... 88-86
