Best Bet of the Day
NCAAB: Virginia Cavaliers -6 over Duke Blue Devils
4:00 pm ET, ESPN
The Duke Blue Devils are 17-7 this season but coming off a blowout loss to Miami on Monday. They were never in that game and looked like they did not want to be there in the second half. The Blue Devils shot just 26.3% from beyond the arc and continued their road struggles. They have won just 2 road games this season (against teams that rank outside the top 160 in KenPom’s rankings), while Virginia has played at a high level holding a 18-4 overall record and a 10-3 conference record. Virginia should take care of business at home and cover too. Read our full Duke vs Virginia predictions.
The Duke vs Virginia game is available to bet on at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new customers can bet $5 and get $200 in bonus bets. Click this link to take advantage of this great offer.
