Pitt at Duke picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 79, Pitt 68
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s no great option here. The Blue Devils should come out on top with relative ease, but at -1400, there’s no reason to consider them on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET PITT +14.5 (-110).
Duke hasn’t covered well at home as of late. It failed to cover in its last home game against Virginia Tech and hasn’t covered in 2 straight at Cameron Indoor. The Blue Devils have often covered by limiting opponents’ offensive efficiency, but the Panthers have been surging on that side of the court.
They have scored at least 86 points in 3 of their last 4 games, going 3-1 ATS. Three of Pitt’s top 4 scorers are shooting 49% or better from the field. Expect the Panthers to use their offensive efficiency to keep this one close. Back PITT +14.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET OVER 143.5 (-105).
The Panthers have topped the projected total in 4 straight games and are 8-5-1 O/U on the season. They have scored at least 83 points in 10 of 14 games and allowed at least 74 in 2 of their last 3.
The Blue Devils are 2-0 O/U in their last 2 games and have scored at least 82 points in 3 in a row. Considering those trends from both sides, play OVER 143.5 (-105).
