Why Duke can cover
The model knows that the Blue Devils' 97 points against the Orange on Saturday was their highest offensive output in an ACC road game since they produced 98 in a victory at Clemson on Feb. 2, 2002. Duke was tremendous from the free-throw line versus Syracuse, hitting 29 of its 33 attempts, and had five players reach double digits in points for the fifth time this season.
Carey led the way for the Blue Devils, registering 26 points and a career-high 17 rebounds for his eighth 20-10 performance of the campaign. The effort helped earn him ACC Player and Freshman of the Week honors, as he averaged 26 points and 15 boards in a pair of conference victories by Duke.
Why Boston College can cover
Even so, the Blue Devils aren't a lock to cover the Duke vs. Boston College spread. Hamilton led the Eagles in scoring in Saturday's win at North Carolina, matching his season high with 18 points as the senior guard reached double digits for the seventh time this season and first in five contests. Derryck Thornton, who leads Boston College with 12.8 points and 3.6 assists, chipped in 15 to hit double figures for the fourth time in five games.
Thornton, a guard who began his collegiate career with Duke and spent two seasons at USC before joining the Eagles for this campaign, scored only six points against the Blue Devils in their meeting in December. Senior forward Nik Popovic notched 10 points and eight rebounds on Saturday but missed the first matchup against Duke due to a back injury.
