Notre Dame will be ready for this game.....maybe they will not be. It's all a gamble. However, 9.5 points is too much for this contest. Duke always gets too much respect with the odds setters and this game is a classic example.
When they played the game in ND, my line was a pick. The line bounced around the pick with both teams being favored by a point or a point and a half. I think Duke may have closed -1. Regardless, the game was a coin flip.
Considering home courts, a logical assumption would have been that duke would be a 6-7 to 7.5 MAX favorite on this game. Now the odds setters are not fools, so the extra 3 points is there for some reason. BUT......if they are giving, I will be taking my chances.
ND plus 9.5
Win or lose, it is the proper mathematical play.
