Duke Blue Devils vs. Virginia Cavaliers Prediction
I’m on Virginia here. I think the Blue Devils are starting to fall apart a little bit here as the Cavaliers have revenge on the minds after a loss to Duke in the ACC title game last season. The Cavaliers have struggled with consistency while Duke’s been consistently poor in the last couple of weeks. Give me Virginia.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Virginia -1.5
