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.

Notre Dame at Duke picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 75, Notre Dame 67
Moneyline
PASS.
Duke (-800) is way too expensive, even to include in a parlay. Focus on the spread or total in this game instead.

Against the spread
NOTRE DAME +11.5 (-105) is worth the play, as the 2023 version of Duke has been mediocre at best and has no business laying double digits against anyone right now.
The last time Duke laid double digits was New Year’s Eve against Florida State, covering in a win. However, it is just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games overall when laying 10 or more points.
Over/Under
OVER 140.5 (-115) is the lean, but play it lightly.
The Over has been the dominant side for the Fighting Irish of late, going 8-1-2 in the past 11 games overall and cashing at an 18-7-1 clip in the past 26 games on the road.
The Over is also 20-7-2 in the past 29 home games for Duke when facing a team with a losing road record.
