SBG Global Opening Line: Georgia Tech – 3.5
The news flash for tonight’s Duke-Georgia Tech game is that Duke is finally playing on the road. The 11th ranked Blue Devils finally venture away from home for a true road game as they take on Georgia Tech. Duke has played three games this season at neutral sites but no true road game. SBG Global reports that the gambling public is split on this game with Duke holding a slight favorite in the minds of gamblers.
Duke lost their ACC opener for the first time in eleven years with a 69-67 overtime loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday. The Blue Devils were awful, committing a season-high 22 turnovers. "The best thing that a good player can have is amnesia; you forget about who you were the last game, whether it be good or bad, and you become who you're supposed to be in the next game," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "That's part of being tough and that's part of being a good player."
Georgia Tech suffered its 14th straight road loss 75-74 at Clemson on Saturday. "Had we both won big or lost big, it's still going to be an ACC game, and guys are going to go out there and play very hard," Tech head coach Paul Hewitt said. "And anytime you play Duke, there's an added motivation. They've been the best program in this league since I've been here. They always bring out a crowd." Georgia Tech has won all nine home games this season by an average of more than 30 points. This is its first home game against a ranked team.
Georgia Tech is a 2.5 point home favorite with a total of 139 at SBG Global.
