BOSTON COLLEGE vs DUKE PREDICTION PICK
Boston College played Duke tough back in January however they were a completely different team that has since lost its coach and 3 key players including the best player Wynston Tabbs. The public is pounding Boston College early because of Duke’s disappointing season however the Sharps are pounding Duke. The reason is that Duke is coming off a bad loss to UNC and they have to win the ACC tournament to make March Madness. These are the reasons Duke will show up to play today. Duke may not have a chance to win the ACC tournament but at least today they will think they do and play for a beatdown win. This game should be a 20 point blowout. The Bookie is rolling with the Duke Blue Devils to cover the spread in a big win.
