Think defense here and not just because the Under has cashed in Duke's last six games.

Both teams have excellent defenses and Duke is struggling to score averaging 13.5 points in its last four games. Blue Devils quarterback Daniel Jones ranks 13th among the 14 qualified ACC quarterbacks in passing efficiency. Virginia Tech ranks No. 2 in the nation in third-down defense and gives up only 12.7 points per game, which ranks fifth in the nation.

Duke, though, is strong on defense. The Blue Devils are No. 1 in the ACC in interceptions and second in sacks.

Weather could impact scoring, too, with rain expected.
