Virginia Cavaliers vs Duke Blue Devils 2/7/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Virginia Cavaliers will meet with the #9 Duke Blue Devils in an Atlantic Coast Conference clash in Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham, NC, on Monday, February 7, 2022, at 7:00 PM (EST).

Virginia, which won the national championship less than three years ago, is running out of time to establish a CV worthy of an NCAA Tournament at-large invitation.

Despite their record of 14-9 (8-5), the Cavaliers have less than a 10% chance of making the tournament, according to most forecasts. They only played one rated opponent so far this year, so Monday’s game is a major opportunity.

Following victories against Boston College and Miami at home last week, Virginia enters this matchup on a two-game unbeaten run.

The Cavaliers did not drop a game in a row this season, but they did not have many long winning runs either. On offense, they did not do anything particularly good or poor, ranking 83rd in KenPom’s adjusted efficiency ratings. Their strength is a low turnover rate, which is typical of a Tony Bennett-coached Virginia squad. They’re hitting 33.8 percent of their 3-point attempts and 51.2 percent of their shots from inside the arc.

The University of Virginia Cavaliers is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 matches.
Virginia is 10-5 ATS in their last 15 matches against Duke.
The Cavaliers are 11-5 SU in their last 16 matches in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Virginia Cavaliers vs Duke Blue Devils Predictions 2/7/2022

No. 9 on the list Duke is emerging as one of the favorites to capture the NCAA Tournament this year. The Blue Devils only dropped three matches this season, all of which were by five points or less.

They put together a five-game winning run after a 79-78 overtime defeat to Florida State. On Saturday, Duke completed a three-game road trip with an 87-67 thrashing of rival North Carolina.

The Blue Devils jumped out to a large lead early and maintained it the rest of the way. They don’t have a ranked opponent remaining on their schedule, so a flawless regular-season finish may lead to a No. 1 seed on Selection Sunday.

The Blue Devils are a well-balanced team that ranks in the top 15 on both offense and defense. They are ranked No. 21 in effective field goal percentage and shoot the ball well from all over the court. Duke is also avoiding turnovers, with a turnover rate of No. 18 in the country.

The University of Duke Blue Devils is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 matches.
Duke is 19-1 SU in their last 20 matches when playing at home against Virginia.
The total went UNDER in 4 of Duke’s last 5 matches in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Virginia Cavaliers vs #9 Duke Blue Devils. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #9 Duke Blue Devils. I don’t usually back a large home favorite who is popular with the people, but I don’t think this will be a close game.

The market was not caught up to how excellent this squad is, as Duke covered the spread in four of its previous five games. There’s no avoiding the fact that the Cavaliers are having a bad season. They attempted to correct the situation by using the transfer portal, but they lacked the firepower to compete with Duke’s talent.

The Blue Devils dominated 19 of their previous 20 home matches against the Cavaliers, and they should win again on Monday night. The #9 Duke Blue Devils will win and cover the ATS to a predicted score of 73-59.
