7-Unit Play. #881. Take Under 129 Virginia vs. Duke (Monday @ 7pm est)
VIrginia is 14-9 and #25th in the country and Duke is playing lights out right now. Duke just crushed NOrth Carolina and it must have felt very good for Coach K to destroy his rival so handily on the road. Virginia has won 3 in a row and now find themselves ranked 25th in the country and I think this is the perfect spot for Duke to come out as flat as can be. I think Virginia will lock down on defense here as thye did against other elite teams when they are a decent dog and I think Duke will be forced into a very slow, drawn out game that will see this game likely go Under today. Great public fade as well and we ride the Under.
4-Unit Play. #893. Take Under 128 Pittsburgh vs. Virginia Tech (Monday @ 7pm est)
You have a 8-15 and 13-10 teams hooking up here and we suspect that this game is likely to be lower scoring than most realize. These two teams just hooked up and it saw Virginia Tech beat Pittsburgh by a score of 76-71 but I suspect this game will not go to 147 points like the last one did. Remember, Pittsburgh has now lost 3 straight conference games, they were down 22-49 at the half to Virgini aTech last game and it saw Virginia Tech shoot 63% and frankly Pittsburgh shot 61% from the field as well. No way these two teams shoot as effectively this time around and we suspect this game will indeed be lower scoring than the last one. , Pittsburgh has lost 3 straight though they aer playing hard, just lost by 5 to Virginia Tech, game went to 146 points, Pitt was down 22-49 at the half, Virginia Tech shot 63% and Pitt show 61%, Va Tech has won 3 in a row, has Syracuse on deck, Va Tech is top 10 in offense now, Va Tech has gone over 6 times in a row btw, so it makes sense to take the Undere here
7-Unit Play. Take #891 Temple (-4) over South Florida (7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 7)
Temple has been one of the hottest teams in the AAC. They are 6-1 SU and ATS in their last seven games and are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall. I think that they will keep it going with another big win here. South Florida has been the exact opposite. They have lost four straight and they are 1-8 SU and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games. USF is coming off a 19-point loss to rival Central Florida and the Bulls' last four losses have all come by at least 19 points. All eight of their last eight losses have come by at least 14 points. The road team is 6-2 SU in the last eight meetings between these two teams. The road team is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Temple has been very solid on the road and South Florida is just 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games. Take Temple here.
