(NCAAF) Duke vs. Pittsburgh, 11/01/2014 8:00 AM, Score: 51 - 48
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Duke (Away)
Result: Win
Red Hot Duke (6-1) visits the Pitt Panthers (4-4) who last week were thrashed at home by Georgia Tech 56-28. Tech led 28-0 in the "first quarter" and glided the rest of the way for the blowout. Pitt was physically beat up in that game with GTech's rushing attack.

The Blue Devils show in a more positive state of mind after a bye and back-to-back conference wins over Georgia Tech and Virginia. One of the overlooked strengths for Duke this season has been their -5 TOs versus +13 in the takeaway category. Add that to an improved defense (15.1) and an overall balanced offense it's easy to see they have a legit shot at returning to the ACC Championship game.
Techs have the Blue Devils covering 4 straight in the month of November, while on a very high note 10-2-1 ATS record on grass surfaces. Pitt, on the other hand, has been bad at home and 1-4-1 ATS L6 overall. Take Duke here in the Saturday early kickoff. The Line is dropping as sharp money is coming in on Duke.
