PLAY: (719) DUKE -2 (Westgate)
RATING: 4% PLAY
On the surface people will look at Duke and say Duke played yesterday and struggled with NC State having to hang on for a 3 pt win while Notre Dame didn’t play and is rested. Although that is true I really feel it is an advantage to have played a game already. Duke now has game under their belt in this arena while Notre Dame hasn’t. Duke got play and get any jitters out of their system having played yesterday. Duke also played a tight game meaning if today’s game is tight late the advantage is clearly with Duke. I also feel that since Duke already beat NC State twice this year they took them for granted yesterday. But that close game will serve as a wake up call today. Finally it also must be noted that Duke was coming off the big game with N. Carolina on Saturday. That game went right down to the end and after a hard fought game against your biggest rival it’s not surprising that Duke came out flat yesterday. Today they will be fully focused as they play a Notre Dame team that beat them earlier in the year 95-91 and knocked them out of this tournament last year. Duke gets it revenge here. Note that Notre Dame is coming off a 14 point win in their last game and when coming off a win of 10 points or more this year they are just 1-8 ATS in their next game. My numbers have Duke winning by 6 or more.

Here is another game where I like the fact that my team played yesterday and the other team didn’t. San Diego St is the best team in the conference but too often this team struggles offensively. Utah St had an easy wire to wire win yesterday as they were in total control of Wyoming so they really didn’t have to extend themselves. San Diego St is coming off of back to back blowouts which is giving us some value in the line as I feel this line shouldn’t be this high. Also note Utah St plays with Double revenge having lost both regular season meetings. San Diego St is only 9-18 ATS following a game that they covered the spread in the last 2 seasons. Utah St is 19-9 ATS following a win by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons. I think Utah St takes this game right down to the wire so I’m grabbing the inflated number.
