Duke vs. Virginia Tech: Best picks and prediction

The Duke Blue Devils are the better team, which is evident as they are the favorite despite being on the road. With guard Jeremy Roach off the injury report and able to play despite suffering an ankle injury a few games ago, this Blue Devils unit should play well.

Rebounding is significant in college basketball, and there is a bit of a difference between these two programs. The Blue Devils average 35.8 total rebounds per game, while the Hokies are grabbing 33.6 total rebounds.

Duke has also been the better shooting program this season, as its 47.9% from the field is more than a full point higher than Virginia Tech's 46.6%. All in all, everything points toward the Duke Blue Devils covering the spread on the road.

Pick: Duke Blue Devils -3.5 (-110)
