Pick Against The Spread

Sure, Wake has won all six of their home games this season, but
they haven’t beaten a team with an RPI lower than 125. They lost their only ACC game falling by
20 points as a three-point road dog. Duke is just 6-6 versus the line, but seven of their ten
wins had a margin of more than today’s spread, and they have a massive edge on defense. Rutgers
and Clemson were able to slow down Wake’s scoring, and I believe Duke will do the same and get
road win and the cover tonight. Want more picks? Check out what the Predictem Pros are playing tonight!
