The reason why Duke is so heavily favored has to do with the one-sided nature of this series in recent years. Since 2002-03, Duke is 16-1 against Virginia Outright. But Virginia is ranked for the first time facing off against the Blue Devils and is looking to win their 13th game. They have won 12 in a row for the first time since a 15-game run in 1981-82 and it is their best start in 30 years.
As a single-digit dog, Duke has either won or loss by single digits over the last 10 games.
The Cavaliers are 11-0 Against The Spread in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
The Cavaliers are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog.

The Blue Devils are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite of 7.0-12.5.

Gambling911.com has to back Virginia here based on their overall record and performance on the road Against The Spread. Virginia is just too good a team right now to be listed as an 11.5 underdog.
