Why Duke can cover
Duke is amid a solid season, winning back-to-back games to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2018. The Blue Devils knocked off Miami (FL) as 10-point underdogs two games ago before taking care of business against Boston College last week. Quarterback Riley Leonard threw for 158 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 96 yards and another score against the Eagles.
The Blue Devils are also still in contention for the ACC Coastal Division title under first-year head coach Mike Elko. They have already doubled their win total from last year and are facing a Virginia Tech team that is in a downward spiral. The Hokies are riding a six-game losing streak and have only covered the spread twice in their last seven contests.
Why Virginia Tech can cover
Virginia Tech might not have wins to show for it, but it is continuing to play hard under first-year coach Brent Pry. The Hokies held an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead against Georgia Tech last week before eventually losing by one point. They also covered the 9-point spread in a 20-14 loss to Miami (FL) and easily covered the 13.5-point spread in a 22-21 loss to then-No. 24 NC State.
The Hokies are nearly double-digit underdogs this weekend, despite playing three close games in a row. Duke lost right guard Jacob Monk to a lower-leg injury that will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season, which is a huge blow to the offensive line. Virginia Tech has won five of the last six meetings between these teams and has rattled off eight straight wins at Duke.
