SPORTS TODAY Top college football conference championship game predictions
One of the top college football picks Marshall is recommending for the conference title games: He’s backing Virginia (-3.5) against Duke in the ACC Championship Game. He’s also likes the Under (57.5) to hit in the 8 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday.
These teams met in Durham on Nov. 15 and Virginia won 34-17 despite being a 5-point road underdog. That game also hit the Under (60.5) with some room to spare. Marshall sees more of the same with a similar spread at a neutral site in Charlotte.
“UVA is 7-3 vs. the spread in last 10 this season and the Cavaliers also enter Charlotte on a 7-0 Under run,” Marshall told SportsLine. “The Blue Devils are only 3-3 straight-up and vs. spread down stretch this season.”Go to SportsLine to see all of Marshall’s picksand bet that pick right here:
