Jimmy Boyd
ACC GAME OF THE MONTH
Wake Forest at Duke
Pick: Duke -6.5
Duke needs this one badly after losses to its last 4 high quality opponents (Wake Forest, Clemson, UNC, Boston College). The loss at Wake especially hurt as a blow coverage on a last second in-bounds play allowed Wake to slip to the goal for a win. This one is all about revenge for Duke and I have not doubt in my mind that the rout will be on today. Duke is a perfect 10-0 SU and ATS at home against Wake since 1997 and the Cameron Crazies will be roaring today. The Home team is 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings and the Favorite is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings. Wake is not much for road games and is just 5-16 ATS in road games when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%) after 15 or more games since 1997, losing by an average score of 71.2 to 84.5 in these spots. Take the points.
