The Duke Blue Devils (5-1) will head into Lane Stadium on Saturday, October 13th to take on the Virginia Tech Hokies (3-3) at 12:30 PM ET. We’ll get a better picture of how good this Duke team really is here since they were dominated against Stanford in their second foray against above average competition this year. Duke has bested Virginia, Wake Forest, Memphis, NC Central, and Florida International this season but was blown out 13-50 against Stanford despite outgaining the Cardinal by 12 yards.

Virginia Tech has had a rough season and their defense simply isn’t up to the standards one would expect from a Frank Beamer-coached team. The Hokies hold wins over Austin Peay, Georgia Tech, and Bowling Green this season while holding all 3 teams to 17 or less, but Virginia Tech has allowed 27 or more in their 3 losses against Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and North Carolina. Virginia Tech has covered the point spread just once all season.
The Hokies won 14-10 on the road as 14.5-point favorites last year and were 44-7 winners as 27-point favorites in 2010 when they last hosted Duke. The Blue Devils haven’t in any of the 8 head-to-head meetings since 2004 but they have managed to cover the point spread in 3 of the last 4 years. The total has gone under in 3 of the last 4 years as well with Duke scoring more than 10 just once during that span.
Virginia Tech is going to be a 9-point betting favorite on Saturday and it appears that the betting public is split down the middle when it comes to deciding which of these teams to wager on. The total is at 54.5 currently and these teams have combined to go over in 7 of their combined 10 games that have been assigned totals.
