ROGERS' 10* ACC GAME OF THE MONTH: $30K ALL SPORTS RUN!
(NCAAB) North Carolina State vs. Duke, 02/28/2023 7:00 PM, Score: 67 - 71
Point Spread: -6.00 | -114.00 Duke (Home)
Result: Loss
The ACC is way down this year. Not a single team from the conference is currently in the KenPom Top 25. That speaks volumes.

Who is the best team in the ACC right now? Most would say Virginia, but they’ve lost two in a row and before that only beat Notre Dame by two and Louisville by three. The answer to the question may be … Duke.

The Blue Devils have won four straight and seven of nine. One of those two losses, at Virginia in overtime, they definitely should have won.

One game that Jon Scheyer’s team certainly did NOT deserve to win was January 4th at NC State when they were soundly beaten 84-60 as 4.5-point road favorites. But you’d have to go back almost 30 seasons (to 1994-95) to find the last time NC State swept Duke in a season series.

Look for Duke to avenge that loss from January tonight in the final home game of the season. The Blue Devils have been bet up to 7-point favorites as of this writing, but I still like them to cover. NC State just lost by 25 at home to Clemson on Saturday, which says a lot about their squad. Duke turned it over a lot (21 times) in the first meeting, which won’t happen again tonight. They are undefeated at home (15-0) this season, winning by an average of 16.7 points/game. NC State has lost 20 straight times here in Durham and is just 6-14 SU overall vs. Duke the L20 meetings. Lay the points. 10*
