The current betting odds have Duke listed as a 21.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Duke has looked great in their games this season with their 21-3 record overall and their 13-1 conference record which has them right at the top of the ACC. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 14-0 home record, and they are ranked like one of the best teams in the nation. Meanwhile, Stanford has looked good in their games this season with their 16-9 record overall and their 8-6 conference record which has them in the top half of the ACC. They haven't been a good road team though with their 3-5 road record. They are coming off a road loss to Georgia Tech in their last one and they haven't looked great lately as they are 2-3 in their last 5 games. They are also in a bad situation here since they have to travel to the East coast for this game, and they have taken some bad losses on the road this season. Duke has been rolling teams all season, especially in their home games, and they have looked good lately as they are 4-1 in their last 5 games. They did lose their first and only conference game of the season just a week ago, but they bounced back with a win over Cal in their last one and this is another team that they can dominate on their home floor. The best way to place a bet here is on Duke to cover the spread in this game.

“Georgia Tech was the better team tonight. Really physically brought a great energy tonight.” - Kyle Smith after his team’s loss against GA Tech in their last game. 

"He's as good as I've seen as a freshman of playing physical and knowing how to use his body. Usually that takes the longest for freshman big guys and he was naturally, he was coming in this summer and just hitting guys, because he likes contact. So, it starts there and then obviously he just has to learn how to do that and go straight up and go vertical, and he's a student of the game, so he's been able to grow as the season's gone along." - Jon Scheyer after his team’s win against Cal in their last game.
