    GEORGIA TECH +7

    For a number of different reasons I believe we're getting excellent value on Georgia Tech today:

    The Blue Devils might need to see how they react to a close game because it has been a while. They’ve been in one game decided by less than nine points, and that resulted in their only loss in a game at Wisconsin. That also marked the team’s only true road game; keep in mind that Duke is 0-1 ATS on the road this season.

    On the other side of the court: Georgia Tech has vastly improved after a dismal 2008-09 season.

    Thanks to 6-foot-9 junior Gani Lawal and one of the nation’s top freshmen classes, Georgia Tech (11-3, 0-1) is one win shy of matching its total from last season when it won two ACC games. Despite the turnaround, the Yellow Jackets are in danger of dropping their first two league games after falling 73-66 at rival Georgia on Tuesday; however I expect a "rebound" tonight.

    The Yellow Jackets will try to slow Duke with their aggressive full-court pressure.

    Not only is Georgia Tech 10-2 SU its last 12 overall, it also always plays tough in front of the hometown crowd; 6-1 SU its last seven at home.

    Bottom line: With "revenge" on their minds, look for GEORGIA TECH to improve to 5-3 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record and for Duke to fall to 1-1 ATS against conference opponents.

    *8* GEORGIA TECH.
