Duke at Florida State picks and predictions

Prediction

Florida State 34, Duke 17

Moneyline

No lean and no interest wading through the amount of juice between these prices. PASS.

Against the spread

Since 1995, FSU is 12-5 ATS in this series. But figure this one as highly probable to land in the Seminoles-by-13-to-20 bucket. Your fellow bettors have this one surrounded. Move along.

STEER CLEAR.

Over/Under

Duke has hit the Over in its last 4 road games (+4.00 units, 91% ROI). Florida State has hit the Over in 7 of its last 8 games at home (+5.90 units, 67% ROI).

The last meeting was in 2020, and the ‘Noles won that one 56-35. This one should involve more defense, but the Over is still a likable play.

Duke’s diversity on 1st down plays them to enough of an advantage, and that’s how they can counteract FSU’s competency on pass defense.

Both teams excel in turning redzone trips into touchdowns. Both play at relatively slow paces, but the tempo for each has picked up in recent weeks. So, look for a final tally with a good enough chance to reach the mid-to-high 50s.

The total here looks to be highly influenced by a couple recent games on each side. Those contests are rife with awful 3rd-down performances and untimely drive-ending turnovers.

On a benign-weather evening in Tallahassee, BACK THE OVER 49.5 (-110).

Duke at Florida State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Duke at Florida State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 5 Duke Blue Devils (14-2, 4-1 ACC) visit the Florida State Seminoles (10-5, 4-2) Tuesday in Tallahassee, Fla. The battle at Donald L. Tucker Center is set to start at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Duke vs. Florida State odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Duke has been solid in two wins since falling to Miami (Fla.) Jan. 8. The Blue Devils have been improving in field-goal accuracy, offensive rebounding, and free-throw rate.

Sophomore C Mark Williams is coming off a season-high 19 points in a win over N.C. State Saturday. Williams had 6 offensive rebounds in that game and is perhaps the ACC’s best rebounder at the offensive end.

The Seminoles are coming off a 76-71 win at Syracuse Saturday and have won three consecutive games. Florida State went 12-for-20 (60.0%) from distance in Saturday’s tilt and is 5-1 with a 38.8% 3-point mark over its last six games.

Duke at Florida State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Duke 76, Florida State 71

Money line

Seminoles Senior F Malik Osborne has an ankle injury and is listed as doubtful for this game. The 6-foot-9 talent is the ‘Noles second-leading scorer (11.1 points per game) and leading rebounder (7.2 rebounds per game). Osborne is also a capable defender. His absence — or possibly playing at 80% — is a significant handicap for the home five.

Look for Duke’s shooting, rebounding, and second-chance points to be big difference makers in this contest.

BACK THE BLUE DEVILS (-210).

Against the spread

The Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as road favorites. The Seminoles are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games against winning teams.

Look for Duke’s offense to be just too much for the Seminoles. FSU is 1-5 ATS against teams scoring more-than-77 points per game.

TAKE DUKE -4.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Both defenses are trending slightly the wrong way. PASS on the current total, but consider an Over play on a figure south of 144.
