Georgia Tech vs Duke ACC Tournament betting odds, prediction, pick
Georgia Tech vs Duke ACC Tournament betting odds, prediction, pick Georgia Tech versus Duke is an early start on Thursday at the ACC Basketball Tournament in Charlotte
As we head into March Madness and reach the culmination of the college basketball season. All eyes are on Duke and Cooper Flagg. One of the central figures of the upcoming NCAA Tournament demands everyone's attention -- not with his mouth, but with his play. Flagg is making a very strong case for being the top pick in this year's NBA draft, should he choose to enter it. Duke will be a No. 1 seed and a frontline national championship contender. Flagg is a widely known name, but if he stars in the NCAA Tournament, he will attain a much higher level of recognition. Georgia Tech versus Duke in the ACC Tournament is only the beginning of a tournament journey for college basketball's most high-profile athlete.
There is no real bracket drama surrounding Duke. The Blue Devils will be the No. 1 seed in the East Region. This game is all about winning another championship. Duke wants to follow up its ACC regular-season title with the ACC Tournament championship. If you talk to people in long-established ACC locales, they will tell you that the "ACC champion" is the tournament champ, not the regular-season first-place team. The ACC Tournament means a lot in the Carolinas, and you can bet that Duke coach Jon Scheyer is talking to his team about the meaning of winning this tournament.
Speaking of things you can bet on, let's look at Georgia Tech versus Duke in the first of four ACC quarterfinals on Thursday.
Let's give you the Georgia Tech-Duke betting odds and take a look at this midday ACC Tournament game in Charlotte:
Georgia Tech vs Duke game odds:
All college basketball odds via BetMGM
Spread: Georgia Tech +22.5 (-110), Duke -22.5 (-110)
Money Line: Georgia Tech +2200, Duke -8000
Over-Under: Over 143.5 (-110), Under 143.5 (-110)
Georgia Tech vs Duke prediction, pick:
Duke has covered a lot of mid-20s point spreads this season. The Blue Devils have regularly been installed as a 24- or 25-point choice and have covered. If you have followed this team all season, you know this has not been a problem for Duke and Cooper Flagg.
This is, however, a noon local time start in Charlotte. Georgia Tech is in a single-elimination tournament and might offer a robust challenge in the first 15 minutes -- not over the full 40, but probably in the early going. We would lean Duke here, but if Georgia Tech leads something like 13-10 eight minutes into the game, you might be able to get Duke -17.5 on a live line. If Georgia Tech leads something like 24-20 after 13 or 14 minutes, you might be able to get Duke at -13.5. It's a good game in which to wait for the right live-play opportunity.
Prediction: Duke 78, Georgia Tech 55
