I was a wild week for the ACC's Duke Blue Devils leading up to this Tuesday night's road game against the Pittsburgh Panthers. Last Monday, Duke was on the wrong end of a 95-91 overtime loss to Syracuse as a 17-point home favorite. Adding injury to insult, point guard Tre Jones was lost for the foreseeable future with a separated shoulder.
As 3.5-point home favorites against the then-No. 4 undefeated Virginia Cavaliers, the Blue Devils grinded-out a 72-70 win on Saturday. They have now failed to cover in their last three games. Going on the road this Tuesday, Duke will have to avoid any kind of letdown coming off such a big win. Last week's roller-coaster ride cost Duke its top spot in the Coaches Poll with a drop to No. 2.
Pitt is 12-6 SU this season coming off a road loss to Syracuse on Saturday with a profitable 13-5 record ATS. The Panthers have been able to cover BetAnySports' closing line in 10 of 13 home games this season. In the search for high-value underdogs as part of my sports betting coverage for Ask the Bookie, the link below is my complete betting preview for Tuesday night's ACC clash.
