Duke -15' / 161...side or total?

[buddy]

At first glance, I was halfway tempted to take ND +,

but...

Duke had an easy time in their last outing...

An 84-37 stomping of mighty Winthrop. And prior, a 91-61 "say uncle" thrashing of NC State.

OTOH, ND has played a couple of uptempo games (Uncc, Uconn).

Does ND have tired legs?

Both Texas and BC did. And what happened to the 2nd half total in the Maryland game? 90 in the 1st half, 65 in the 2nd.

Before Winthrop, Duke gave 13 to WF, 14 to NC State and now 15' to ND?

Seems like Vegas is pushing the envelope.

Should I handicap the side or is the total the play?

Duke has gone under in their L5 outings.

What to do?

Duke certainly has the shooters, but so does ND.

Decisions, decisions.

But I think this.....

WForest lost to Duke by 15. Actually played them tough for most of the game. Game was closer than the score would indicate.

For my money, a big part of college ball is shooting the 3 ball and cleaning the glass (don't mean to discount defense either).

But ND has lived off the 3 and they can rebound.

Gimme the dog and the under.

i think there are two key to this game........can ND handle the ball and can Humphrey stay out of foul trouble?

if you handle the ball against Duke, you can get good shots and shoot a good %......if Humphrey stays in the game, he shoudl be able to score a lot........

anyone have an opinion on ND's guard play????

Posted early last night on this game Duke has gone under 5 in a row 9 of there last 11 Notre dame has not gotten more than 5.5 points all year .. and Notre Dame hasnt played in a game with this high of a posted total all year .. everything points to under here i believe .. therefore ill take over 160 (sporting bet usa ).. As far as the game goes realy think if Fighting Irish wasnt on there jersey this line would be higher .. small lean to Duke this is there time of year .. my line up to 16 will wait and see if it comes down at all .. if it moves up i will just play the over Good luck all Sparky:shrug:

Sparky...
The way I see this one is ...If Duke wasn't on the front of their Jerseys this would be a 10 point line:shrug:

good luck

I think this would be a great "overdog" situation.

ND can move down the court, and they will be doing just that! This will be a pretty good shooting match, IMO. ND needs to score 73 points to get a split in this contest, and I don't see how they get kept that low.

If you take the +15' and the over, you have a good shot at winning both wagers.
