5-0 day yesterday to get back into the black. I see no reason why we can't keep it going today. Today I like:

**Duke Blue Devils -14.5

Really like this match-up for the devils. I have watched this hokie team play a few times and they are very clearly not on the same level that they have been for the past few years. They have a problem with turnovers and they are playing a Duke team that plays very strong defensively (.56 Assist/Turnover ratio). I like Duke to be able to put alot of defensive pressure on the Hokies and to create alot of easy transistion baskets in this game.

A big problem for VT in this game is that they don't have near enough scoring balance to hang with this Duke team. They only have 4 guys averaging more than 5 points a contest. I think this is a very high energy Duke team and you need alot of options to hang with them for 40 minutes.

I like this game to possibly start close but I look for Duke to pull away in the 2nd half. Think the class difference shows up in the 2nd half...

I caught my first game @ Cameron this year and even though it was against a nobody I came away very impressed at the buzz that the building is able to maintain throughout the game. I compare this to the aseptic atmosphere at the Smith Center and the RBC and its hard not to be envious. Wish both teams played more games in Reynolds and Carmichael, its just a whole different type of game..

1-1 today to pick up .9 units. Really should have had both but the Carolina game had a bit of a funky ending. Just glad to come out ahead. Had a really strong week in which I was able to gain 20 units. Will probably pass on the Miami game tomorrow unless I see something I like
