The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-15, 2-12 ACC) and Duke Blue Devils (17-8, 8-6) meet Tuesday at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Notre Dame vs. Duke game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Notre Dame has been in a tailspin in coach Mike Brey’s final season at the helm, although it was reported he won’t be officially retiring after his tenure with the Fighting Irish. ND has dropped 3 games in a row, and 7 of its last 8, while going just 4-14 against the spread (ATS) across the past 18 games overall.
Duke had posted 3 straight impressive wins from Jan. 28-Feb. 4, including a win in the Battle of the Blues over rival North Carolina, but it has suffered back-to-back losses on the road at Miami and Virginia. The Blue Devils are also just 3-11 ATS in the past 14 games overall, so something’s gotta give.
