College Basketball Picks February 17
Duke -14.5 vs. Virginia
Jon Scheyer might be coaching the best Duke team in the last five years. This team has the offensive talent of a national championship-caliber team and one of the best defenses in the country. Virginia, on the other hand, has been in chaos since the sudden retirement of their long-time coach, Tony Bennett.
Duke, especially as of late, has shown the ability to cover these huge numbers. The Blue Devils have covered seven of the last eight spreads of 13.5 or more points. Duke is 15-10 against the spread this season, including 5-2 as road favorites ATS. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, are 12-13 against the spread this season.
Duke being able to cover these big spreads gives me confidence going into this one. The only thing that slightly concerns me is UVA’s slow tempo of offense. That said, I’m rolling with the Blue Devils on the road.
