Syracuse at Duke picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 83, Syracuse 74
Moneyline
PASS.
Duke (-1400) is 7-1 at home this season, but there is no value in betting it at this number.
Against the spread
LEAN SYRACUSE +14.5 (-110).
Syracuse has won and covered in 2 of its last 3 road games and has covered in 4 of its last 5 overall. While they certainly are outmatched by Duke, the Orange have proved themselves capable of staying in games. Outside of Baylor, Duke has not faced the caliber of competition it will see against Syracuse in the past month. At 14.5 points, the spread is too large to be confident betting on the Blue Devils.
