ACC Sunday

80-71-3+ 2.4 units

3-3 yesterday to lose a little bit, as I missed a strong play on VPI. Today I will start with..

**** Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +7
*** GT/Clem O 144.5

Think this is a good matchup for the Jackets as they have the frontcourt to cause Clemson all kinds of problems. Think this game will be tight so I will take the home team getting points...

My local has it at 147....I liked it but I will lay off now. GL JS

 

[CaptFlippy]

Good Luck I took GT myself.

Jimmy - Do you think the Duke line (-7.5) is out of whack ? I could see Wake winning SU. But ... Everyone (including me!) loved the Okla +1 "gift" line yesterday too.

What do you think ?

 

[jimmyshivers]

I don't think this is a "wacky" line really. Duke is always inflated at home and the struggles of wake (0-3 strait up as a road fave in the last 3 road games) on the road are well documented. Haven't made up my mind on this game but imo I see why the spread is where it is. There might be a point or 2 of value on Wake but to me thats not enough to justify it being a big play. Will have more thoughts on this game in a little while..

 

[Mr.Cover123]

I don't understand this Wake Forest line either. They are clearly the better team and dominate big men along with a great PG in Teague, but the line keeps going up. I still will play Wake Forest, but I have a feeling Duke and their refs will find a way for them to cover the game.

 

[NastyNoles]

Wake is a Good team but scares me on the road. I think duke comes out on fire and ends up winning by like 10

 

[Mr.Cover123]

They have wins at BYU snapping their 56 home game winning streak, at Clemson when they were undefeated, and at BC. Problem with Wake is they don't show up against teams below thier talent level.

**** Duke/Wake Under 152.5

Just think that Duke is struggling on offense and I have a good feeling about their ability to limit Wake today. Expecting a lot of zone and Box and 1 to limit teague and I think Wake will be really limited in their ability to execute their quick shot tempo. Really expecting Duke to control the tempo today..

**** Duke Blue Devils -4 1h


Just see the Dukies controlling this game. It looks like to me Wake has hit a bit of a wall. I know the Dukies have struggled also but this is a chance for the Devils to take control of their season again. It was obvious watching the game on Thursday that Duke was on cruise control against St. Johns, and I think this game is huge for the Devils. Wake is really struggling away from LJC, and I just cannot see this team being able to hang today. I expect Duke to come out very motivated today and to be up DD by halftime. They have struggled to close out games ATS lately so I will take the Devils for the first half in this game. Looking @ a smaller play on the game line as well...

 

[Mr.Cover123]

First half is probably the best play, but Wake Forest is playing great with back to back blowout wins at home.

 

[jimmyshivers]

Just feel like the bubble has burst on this Wake team. Since losing their first game they havent won on the road and they just don't seem to be the same team. Duke is a deeply flawed team as well but to me they have all of the intangibles in their favor in this game. That is difficult to value ATS but I really expect Duke to play like their back is to the wall today..

adding : ** Duke Blue Devils -7.5

welcome aboard nasty..lets get you started with a winner tonight :toast:

 

[Mr.Cover123]

Nice hit. Always nice to have the refs on your side.

 

[jimmyshivers]

adding *** 2h Duke/Wake U 81.5

Think this game slows down a ton and Duke stretches out the clock down the stretch. imo it won't be close enough for Wake to foul down the stretch

 

[jimmyshivers]

Nice hit. Always nice to have the refs on your side.

It is Duke @ home after all..

 

[Mr.Cover123]

I know that, but come on half those charges were bullshit. Feel for the Wake 2nd half trap.

 

[NastyNoles]

Good call on the first half duke -4 jimmy...I was only going to play duke the whole game but sent the 1st half bet in at the last minute...lets go dukies!
