Notre Dame at Duke picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 74, Notre Dame 59
Moneyline
PASS: there's no leverage on these juice-drowned prices.
Against the spread
Notre Dame is 3-1 ATS over the last 4 games in this series. The Irish are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games lined as underdogs of 14.5 points or more. They are 5-2 ATS on the road. Duke is 3-6 ATS in its last 9 ACC games.
KenPom pegs the Irish as 1 of the more unlucky teams in the nation. To wit, they are 1-4 in their last 5 games decided by 2 possessions. UND has a shaky offense, but its defense is top notch.
Defense travels, and Notre Dame has played Duke tough and played well in this building. That being said, it'd be an easier ask if the Devils were coming off an emotional win against UNC.
Consider a partial-unit bet on NOTRE DAME +16.5 (-110).

Over/Under
The Under is 4-2 in Notre Dame's last 6 games and has prevailed in 3 straight UND-DU series meetings.
Look for slow-tempo Notre Dame to grind this one into the low-130s. PASS on this current offering, but take the Under if the total reaches 135.
