"They are a different team at home," Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt told the school's official Web site of the Blue Devils, winners of 14 in a row in Durham. "They shoot the ball much better; they're much more explosive defensively and force more turnovers. We're going to have to play better."

Georgia Tech shot 41.5 percent against Duke (17-4, 5-2) last month, but a strong defensive effort stymied a Blue Devils' team that played their third game in six days. Duke went 6 of 28 from 3-point range and was outrebounded 38-32.

While Duke should be well-rested and carrying more than one chip on its shoulder after losing 89-77 at No. 7 Georgetown on Saturday, it's facing Georgia Tech squad that's one of the nation's best by allowing opponents to 36.6 percent shooting.

Duke, though, is shooting 50.3 percent while averaging 89.9 points in 12 home games this season. The Yellow Jackets, meanwhile, are averaging 61.7 points on 41.6 percent shooting during their three-game skid at Cameron Indoor.

The way the public's money is going down on Ga Tech should be able to get a better number.  Also with ya on Stanford & Western Michigan.

GL Xpress.  Like the Duke under even better but the Devils are different at home and should cover.

He has to play these folks 2 times per year, and certainly does not want to score a bunch of nonsense run and gun points late in the 2nd half. I would be  SHOCKED if they did. This combined with a quantitative analysis is why I have the UNDER as a play and as a best bet for me in this game.

Best of luck

Already on the under as well.  Duke goes to the 4 corners if they are up big with 4 minutes left.  They kill the clock.  I love it, if you're betting an under.

Thursday Final Plays:

*POD* Duke (-12)  vs.  Georgia Tech  5 Units

Stanford (+4.5)  vs.  UCLA  1 Unit

Notre Dame (-3)  vs.  Cincinnati  1 Unit

Gonzaga (-8.5)  vs.  Portland  1 Unit

Western Michigan (-4)  vs.  Miami-Ohio  1 Unit

Valparaiso (+6.5)  vs.  Wright State  1 Unit

California  vs.  USC  Over 126.5  1 Unit

Tennessee  vs.  LSU  Over 131  1 Unit

Waited for the Duke line to move!  Now, all these plays are locked in and ready to go!  As of now, 80% of the public is all over GT!  Love it!  Tread carefully on the IU/Purdue game!  The Boilermakers might cover the spread!

Good Luck to Everyone!

good luck today pineapple.  i'm on the ND play with ya.  still looking at this Duke game.  its duke or a no play.  i have a tough time convincing myself to take duke because i love to watch them lose.  but i like your logic and the comparisons to the pitt/wvu line seem to fit.

Line Removed:

Stanford (+4.5)  vs.  UCLA  1 Unit

Add on Play:

Valparaiso (+6.5)  vs.  Wright State  1 Unit

Forgot to remove the Stanford play from my final plays.  Dropped the Stanford game and added the Valpo play.  The Pac-10 teams are too inconsistent for my liking!
