Should Duke Be Getting More Attention?

Duke is probably a team a team that should be getting more attention and they come into this game with a 7-3 record overall. In the last game against NC State, the defense gave up only 19 points and they ended up winning by 10 points. Maalik Murphy is having a strong season completing 22 of his 31 passes for 245 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Even though they found success, the running game can be improved upon, and they are going to need to be better with that. Duke on the season is averaging 26.8 points while their defense is giving up 22.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 2nd in the league while the defense is ranked 44th in the league.

  • Duke has won 14 of its last 15 games against non-AP-ranked teams at Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium.
  • Virginia Tech has lost six of its last nine November games as a favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Duke has covered the spread in 10 of its last 11 games against conference opponents at Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium.
  • Virginia Tech has failed to cover the spread in 12 of its last 16 November games as a road favorite.

Virginia Tech is Struggling 

Virginia Tech is suddenly struggling and they have lost two games in a row. Two games ago against Syracuse, VT was defeated 38-31 and in the last game against Clemson, they were defeated 24-14. In the last game, the offense really didn’t look good and they are going to need the offense to bounce back in a big way here. Kyron Drones completed 9 of his 20 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. Virginia Tech is averaging 29.1 points while their defense is giving up 22.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 57th in the league while the defense is ranked 46th in the league. 

Virginia Tech vs Duke Prediction

I am really not sold on this Virginia Tech offense and that is going to be the difference here. Virginia Tech is averaging 29.1 points per game but they really struggled in the last game and they are going to really struggle in this game. Maalik Murphy is going to have a strong game for Duke and that is going to be the difference here as the Blue Devils are going to cruise. Back Duke against the spread here.
