The ACC Power Play is on Duke. Game 505 at 7:00 eastern. Duke should be primed for a top effort here and has won 21 of 24 vs a Virginia team that has a system that plays against them and all undefeated teams this late in the season. The Cavaliers struggled with VA. Tech last out and escaped with their undefeated record in tact. Now they take on a Duke team that is ranked 10 in the RPI Scale and has won 6 of 8 vs top 50 teams and has covered the last 4 as a dog of 6 or less. Simulation models show this one as going down to the wire, with Duke having a solid chance to pull the upset here as 6 points seems a bit high here. Duke lost by 4 at Notre Dame by 4 which was impressive since the Irish here 13-1 at home and Duke was in a major let down spot after Coach K/S 100th win.. The Blue Devils should shore up their defense in this one and get the cover against a Virginia team that starts to feel the Pressure of having the bulls eye on their back every game. Were doing Duke in this one.
