The current betting odds have Duke listed as a 27.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Duke has looked great in their games this season with their 20-1 record overall and their 9-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the ACC. They have looked great on their home court too with their 10-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, Boston College has looked terrible in their games this season with their 9-12 record overall and their 2-6 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the ACC. They have been a terrible road team too with their 1-5 road record this year. Boston College is off a home loss to Virginia in their last one and they did put up a good fight in that game, forcing Virginia to pull off a comeback in the 2nd half, but that hasn't been a common theme for them this year. They haven't looked that good lately as they are 2-3 in their last 5 games and they have been struggling against some of the worst teams in the ACC too. They have also been getting blown out a lot when they have faced much stronger teams and now they are facing the best team in the conference. Duke only has 1 loss this season which was against Texas Tech, but they have been rolling in their games lately with 9 wins in a row now. They have a ton of momentum on their side and they are off a road win by double digits against Virginia Tech in their last one. Double digit wins have been a common theme for Duke this season too, and this game is going to be no different with how bad Boston College has looked at times. The best way to place a bet here is on Duke to cover the spread in this game.

“We needed to get some stops, we just didn't get them. But we played a great game. We had a good plan. We got better. We didn’t win, but we got better. And now we gotta learn from it and try to figure out how we can get ready for the next game.” - Earl Grant after his team’s loss against UVA in their last game. 

"I could not be more proud of our team, man. The toughness we showed. I thought we came not just ready to play, but ready to compete. We understood the value of this game for Virginia Tech. We have a ton of respect for their team and their players. Coach Young is a great coach. They play a difficult style and offense and I thought our guys were mature. Caleb Foster, man, was as sick as could be yesterday, just absolutely willed it for us. I thought he had big-time competitive spirit. Seven rebounds. I'm really proud of Caleb for what he did." - Jon Scheyer after his team’s win against VT in their last game.
