Florida State is 5-1-0 ATS in its last 6 games against Duke

Florida State is 3-6-0 ATS in its last 9 home games against Duke

this is a mathmatic impossibility

 

[eat big]

Seriously, I'm calling this upset, but I'm going with Duke.

 

[Spartacus]

I'll lay the touchdown
this won't be close

 

[gotmilk]

this is a mathmatic impossibility

Not if the 5-1 includes ACC postseason games

 

[hamstershaver]

Not if the 5-1 includes ACC postseason games

but they play home and home each year

 

[gotmilk]

but they play home and home each year

They do not always play 2 games. The addition of BC, VA Tech, etc caused some teams to only play once....

Plus, Florida State was the "AWAY" team during the ACC tournament...which means they could have covered.

Lost at home during the regular season...but covered at Duke...or covered in Greensborough as the "away" team.

fsu needed that win a whole hell of a lot more than duke did, still playing for their postseason lives

The FSU fans proved how fucking retarded they are last night. Rushed the court early, one of their players got hurt. Then when they won, they started chanting over-rated! I mean, wouldn't they rather beat a good team than beat one that is over-rated? Doesn't make sense. Plus, Duke, was the only team left with one loss, untill last night.
