Duke at Georgia Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 86, Georgia Tech 71
Moneyline
PASS.
Georgia Tech hasn't shown enough to assume it can pull off a home upset. Avoid the moneyline here.
Against the spread
BET DUKE -12.5 (-110).
The Yellow Jackets have not looked impressive this season. They have a 3-point home loss to UMass and a 35-point road loss to Cincinnati on their resume. Taking on Duke will bring a challenge they haven't seen yet this season.
The Blue Devils, who were coming off 3 straight wins by 18 or more points, went into a rowdy arena and lost to a hungry Razorbacks team Wednesday. They need a bounce-back game. They are 1-1 ATS when not playing at Cameron Indoor but have the size and skill to blow out Georgia Tech.
Take DUKE -12.5 (-110).

Over/Under
LEAN OVER 149.5 (-110).
Duke has scored 90 or more in 2 of its last 4 and has gone Over the total in 3 of its last 4. The Blue Devils are 4-3 O/U on the season. They rank 43rd in the country in effective field goal percentage (54.6%).
Georgia Tech is 2-3 O/U but has scored at least 80 in 3 of 4 games and tallied 67 on Mississippi State Tuesday. It should be able to score enough behind Kelly to aid the Over here.
Take OVER 149.5 (-110).
