The Duke Blue Devils have lost 6 of their last 7 road games. Riley Leonard is completing 72 percent of his passes for 1,176 yards, 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Jalon Calhoun and Eli Pancol have combined for 574 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, while Jordan Moore has 22 receptions.

The Blue Devils are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 road games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Yellow Jackets are 8-23 ATS in their last 31 home games and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The under is 4-1-1 in Blue Devils last 6 games overall. The under is 6-1 in Yellow Jackets last 7 games overall. The Blue Devils are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings.

This line is a bit confusing to me as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were considered one of the worst teams in the country and now all of a sudden perception changes after a win over Pitt. The Duke Blue Devils are far and away the more balanced and proven team, and they’re one of the more explosive offensive teams in the country. Even with last week’s win, Georgia Tech is a train wreck offensively and isn’t much better on defense. You could argue this line should be steeper. Give me Duke and the small chalk.
