Duke at Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Duke at Miami odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Duke Blue Devils (17-6, 8-4 ACC) and Miami Hurricanes (18-5, 9-4) meet for a Monday night ACC affair in Coral Gables. The contest at the Watsco Center will tip off at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Duke vs. Miami odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Duke went into its last game – Feb. 4 vs. North Carolina – having lost 7 of its last 8 against the spread, but the Blue Devils covered as a -2.5 favorite in a 63-57 triumph over the Tar Heels. DU held UNC to a 34.3% mark from the field; the Devils have held foes to a 34.4% mark over their last 3 games, all straight-up wins.

The No. 21 (Jan. 30 poll) Hurricanes have won 3 of their last 4, but the game before that stretch was a 68-66 defeat to this Duke squad in Durham. The Devils have won 6 of their last 8 against the ‘Canes, but Miami – a +4 in that earlier game (Jan. 21) – has won 4-straight series meetings against the number.

Duke at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Duke 74, Miami 71

Moneyline

Duke is worth the roll of the dice on the ML for the +140 payout. The win against UNC could spring them into a heater.

Take DUKE +140.

Against the spread

The underdog has won 4 straight in this series, and this time around that is the play and it has value.

In meeting No. 1, Duke led by multiple scores for a big chunk of the 2nd half, and it led by 7 just inside the 5-minute mark. The Devils are a youthful bunch getting in a shooting groove of late (38.9% on 3-pointers last 5 games) and they are an exceptional offensive rebounding team.

That latter point cuts into a Miami deficit. Duke struggled with its inside shooting but still beat UM Jan. 21 with the aid of 14 offensive rebounds.

The Blue Devils find more success against teams that profile as offense-first. That fits the ‘Canes, and DUKE +3.5 (-105) is a solid leverage play.

Over/Under

Expect a mid-tempo game in the mid-140s. PASS.

Miami at Clemson odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Miami at Clemson odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 21 Miami Hurricanes (17-5, 8-4 ACC) and No. 19 Clemson Tigers (18-5, 10-2) meet Saturday at Littlejohn Coliseum. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Miami vs. Clemson game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Hurricanes picked up a 92-83 win over Virginia Tech last time out at home Tuesday. Miami is 1-4 SU in the past 5 games on the road, including 4-straight losses outside of the state of Florida. However, The U is a solid 5-2 ATS across the past 7 games overall.

The Tigers were shocked at Boston College Tuesday night, snapping a 3-game winning streak. Clemson has failed to cover in the past 2 games, too, and it is trying to avoid its first 3-game, non-cover streak since opening the season 0-4 ATS in the first 4 games.

Miami at Clemson picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 70, Clemson 68

Moneyline

Miami (+110) is worth a sprinkle here as they have a good shot at the W here as short ‘dogs.

Take MIAMI +110.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

MIAMI +1.5 (-105) has had its issues on the road lately, winning only at lowly Florida State in the past 5 trips. However, the Canes are a very respectable 20-6 ATS in the past 26 road outings overall.

Clemson -1.5 (-115) has lost the past 2 meetings in this series, too, while going 0-4 ATS in the previous 4 matchups, and 1-6 ATS in the past 7 in the series overall. The ML is more lucrative, but the spread is there if you want a point of insurance.

Over/Under

UNDER 146.5 (-110) is the way to go here. The number has been steamed up from 141.5 over the last 12 hours.

The Under is 6-1-1 in the past 8 road games for Miami, while cashing at a 5-1 clip in the past 6 games after a straight-up win. The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games at home for Clemson, too.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Hokies cruised to an 85-70 win over Syracuse on Saturday to cover as 6.5-point favorites at home. Virginia Tech has won 2 games in a row following a 7-game losing skid.

The Hurricanes lost 71-68 at Pittsburgh Saturday despite being 1.5-point favorites on the road. Miami has won 6 of its last 10 games and the 4 losses were each by 6 points or fewer.

Virginia Tech at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 78, Virginia Tech 72

Moneyline

PASS.

While the Hurricanes (-190) are favored at home, taking them to win straight up isn’t worth doing given the minimal profit you’ll receive if they secure the victory — especially because they should win by margin.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

Considering how these teams perform on the road and at home, MIAMI -3.5 (-115) is the ideal way to bet on the spread. Virginia Tech is 0-6 straight up on the road, while Miami is a perfect 11-0 straight up at home this season.

The Hokies are 3-7 ATS in their 10 games against ACC opponents this season. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are 8-3 ATS in conference play.

Over/Under

OVER 143.5 (-105).

Virginia Tech has hit the Over in 4 of its last 5 games overall. Miami has gone Over in each of its last 5 games against a team with a winning record.

Miami at Pittsburgh odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Miami at Pittsburgh odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 19 Miami Hurricanes (16-4, 7-3 ACC) will attempt to take down the Pittsburgh Panthers (14-7, 7-3) Saturday. Tip from Petersen Events Center is at 4 p.m. ET (ESPNU). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Miami vs. Pittsburgh odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Miami comes into this matchup after dismantling Florida State 86-63 as a 3-point road favorite Tuesday. This victory got it back on track after losing 68-66 at Duke in its previous game last Saturday as a 6-point ‘dog. This will be a difficult test for the Hurricanes as they take on a Panthers team that is currently tied with them in the ACC ranks at 7-3.

The Hurricanes are able to get up and down the floor at a quick pace and outscore many teams, scoring 78.2 points per game (47th). Going against the 149th-ranked defense in Pittsburgh (68.2 points allowed per game) should allow them to put up plenty.

For Pitt to win this game, it will need to score more than the 74.4 points it has averaged this far. Getting to the line will be a key for the Panthers as they have made 75.1% of their free throws and can use this efficiency to close the margin Miami has on the offensive side of the ball.

Miami at Pitt picks and predictions

Prediction

Pitt 73, Miami 70

Moneyline

BET PITT (-105).

Pitt has been a different team since entering conference play with only 3 losses. The Panthers are also 10-2 ATS coming off a victory and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games. With the spread being close at 1.5 points, I can see the Panthers pulling off a small upset against the No. 19 Hurricanes.

Against the spread

PASS on the spread in favor of the ML here. This line is small enough were making a wager on the Moneyline is a better play.

Over/Under

UNDER 147.5 (-110) is the play here.

Pitt comes into this game on quite a hot streak of Under plays against winning teams, going 7-1 to the Under in its last 8 against winning records.

Miami has been on a similar streak, going 6-0 to the Under against teams with winning records while also going 5-1-1 to the Under in its last 7 road games overall.

Miami at Florida State odds, picks and predictions

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

The No 19. Miami Hurricanes (15-4, 6-3 ACC) face off against the Florida State Seminoles (7-13, 5-4) on Tuesday. Tip from Tallahassee is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Miami vs. Florida State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Miami lost to Duke on Saturday 68-66, but covered as 6-point road underdogs. Miami is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 4 and 6-4 ATS in its last 10. The Hurricanes are 11-8 ATS on the season. Their offense has been their anchor, shooting 47.35% from the field (41st).

The Seminoles beat Pittsburgh 71-64 on the road on Saturday, covering as 7-point underdogs. They have covered in 3 straight games and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games to improve to 10-10 ATS this season. Florida State has not been particularly great on either end of the court scoring an average of 69.6 points (223rd) and allowing 73.4 PPG (276th).

Miami at Florida State picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 77, Florida State 71

Moneyline

PASS.

Playing the spread here will net more value than playing the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET MIAMI -3.5 (-105).

Miami’s offense is averaging 77.7 ppg (55th) while Florida State’s defense is allowing 73.4 ppg (276th).

Neither team is playing exceptionally well home or away this season, respectively, with the Seminoles posting a 5-5 home record and the Canes posting a 3-3 away record.

The Hurricanes are 25-7 ATS in their last 32 road games and should push that record to 26-7 ATS on Tuesday.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 148.5 (-110).

The Under is 4-3 in Miami’s last 7 games while it is 3-2 in the Seminole’s last 5. The Hurricanes last road game only had 132 total points while Florida State’s last home game only had 125.

With Florida State’s inability to play defense and score the ball efficiently this season, backing the Under seems like the smartest play.

The Hurricanes edged visiting Syracuse 82-78 last time out at home on Monday, bouncing back from an excruciating 83-81 loss in overtime at NC State in the previous outing last Saturday. Miami is 4-2 against the spread (ATS) across the past 6 games overall, with the Over hitting in 3 straight.

The Blue Devils are a mediocre 3-3 across the past 6 games overall while going 0-4 ATS across the past 4. That includes a 72-64 loss at Clemson last Saturday in the team’s most recent setback. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 for Duke.

Miami at Duke picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 76, Duke 74

Moneyline

So far this season, Duke has been Duke in name only. The Blue Devils are mostly a good — but not great — team, and it’s a good reason why it finds itself outside of the Top 25.

MIAMI (+185) has been very good, scoring wins against the likes of Providence, Rutgers, Syracuse and Virginia. The road has been mediocre of late for the Hurricanes, losing the past 2 at NC State and Georgia Tech, but they are also 3-1 ATS in their last 4 ACC road games. This is a team primed and ready for a deep March run.

Against the spread

MIAMI +5.5 (-105) is a strong play catching the points if you just can’t play it straight up.

The Hurricanes have covered 24 of the past 31 games on the road, so it isn’t just this season Miami has played well away from home. Coach Jim Larrañaga always has his team prepared on the road and Saturday will be no different.

Duke laying the points is questionable. This is a team that has failed to cover 4 in a row while going just 1-6 ATS across the past 7 overall. That includes a 1-3 ATS mark in the past 4 at Cameron.

Over/Under

OVER 147.5 (-115) is the lean, but ever so slightly.

The trends vary greatly between the teams. The Under is 8-2 in the past 10 for The U on the road, while going 7-3 in the past 10 after a win. However, the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 against a team with a winning overall mark.

The Over is also 4-1 in Duke’s past 5 against winning teams while going 13-6 in the past 19 after a non-cover, and 5-2 in the past 7 after a straight-up loss.

Syracuse at Miami odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Syracuse at Miami odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Syracuse Orange (12-6, 5-2 ACC) and No. 15 Miami Hurricanes (14-3, 5-2) clash Monday in Coral Gables. Tip-off at Watsco Center will be at 7 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Syracuse vs. Miami odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Syracuse is 4-1 straight up (3-2 against the spread) over its last 5 games. SU is coming off a 78-73 triumph over Notre Dame Saturday. Four Orange scorers found their way into double figures as Syracuse won its 3rd straight game at home. Now they hit the road where they are 2-2; they are also 1-1 in neutral-court games.

The Hurricanes lost in overtime 83-81 at NC State Saturday and have dropped 2 of their last 3 games. A 3-point underdog, Miami shot a robust 56.9% from the field (and has shot 58.7% over its last 2 games) but was undone by 15 turnovers and by allowing 14 offensive rebounds.

Syracuse at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 74, Syracuse 69

Moneyline

No lean and a lot of juice. AVOID.

Against the spread

Syracuse is 4-2 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these sides.

The Hurricanes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight-up loss and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against winning teams.

There are some trends and analytic measures swinging both ways here. PASS.

Over/Under

The Under is 7-1-1 in the Hurricanes’ last 9 against winning teams, 6-1-1 in the Orange’s last 8 against winning teams and 8-1 in the last 9 series meetings.

Expect a moderate pace in this contest. The only major threat in the score-spiral department is Miami’s offensive rebounding and put-back ability, but that has waned a tad of late. Both teams operate with solid handles on the ball and are adept at defending without fouling and neither side draws fouls at even an average rate.

BACK THE UNDER 150.5 (-115).

The Boston College Eagles (8-8, 2-3 ACC) meet the No. 15 Miami Hurricanes (13-2, 4-1) Wednesday at Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Fla. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU).

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Eagles gave Duke all it could handle last time out on Saturday, falling 65-64 on their home court as 8-point underdogs. Boston College has picked up 3 wins in the past 5 games while covering the spread in 3 of their last 4 outings. The Over is 7-2 in the past 9 games.

The Hurricanes are coming off a 76-70 loss at Georgia Tech last time out last Wednesday, the team’s first defeat inside the ACC. That snapped a 9-game win streak. Miami has covered 6 of the past 9 games overall, while the Under is 8-2 in the past 10 outings.

Boston College at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 73, Boston College 67

Moneyline

The money line is OTB at the time of publishing.

However, Miami would be too heavy of a favorite to wager when it does open, so it would not be worth pursuing.

PASS.

Against the spread

BOSTON COLLEGE +10.5 (-105) hasn’t won a lot of games this season, especially lately as the competition has improved. However, it has won 2 of the past 4 games and covered the spread in 3 of them. That includes a near-miss against Duke and an outright win over Notre Dame.

Miami will bounce back after the loss to Ga. Tech, but it won’t cover this big number. The Hurricanes are 1-4 ATS in the past 5 games as a double-digit favorite.

Over/Under

UNDER 140.5 (-115) is the lean, but play it very lightly.

While the Over is 7-2 in the past 9 games overall for Boston College, and 5-1 in the past 6 road outings, it’s all about the Under for Miami lately.

The Under is 8-2 in the past 10 games overall for Miami while cashing in each of the past 5 outings after a non-cover in the previous contest.

G Isaiah Wong (17.4 PPG) and Jordan Miller (14.6 PPG) will need to continue their scoring ways through the season for Miami to cotend for the conference title.

Georgia Tech, which started the season 7-3 in the non-conference schedule, has faltered with an 0-3 start in the ACC with 3 games being double-digit losses. This game is not an easy way to attempt to get the ship righted.

Miami at Georgia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 78, Georgia Tech 74

Moneyline

PASS.

Miami has been playing great basketball and is still undefeated on the road (3-0) and it will go into Atlanta and win another game. This is an important game, not just for conference rankings, but also for recruiting. Atlanta is among the best recruiting cities in the nation and a win here could show some of the young talent what Miami has to offer on top of NIL.

Against the spread

BET GEORGIA TECH +6.5 (-110).

Miami is playing great. But Georgia Tech will be able to keep up with the Hurricanes in this game. I do not see a threat of the Yellow Jackets winning. But they will keep it close enough to make Miami nervous for a bit before winning and 6.5 seems a few points to high. If this number stays above 5.5, I like Geogia Tech to cover.

Over/Under

BET OVER 146.5 (-110).

In the last 4 games, the only time Miami has scored less then 76 points was against Virginia, a team ranked in the bottom 5 in pace of play. When Miami can set the pace, as it will Wednesday, the Hurricanes can score with anyone. Georgia Tech also can score, and this will be a game where both schools hit 70 and could both hit 80 so OVER 146.5 (-110) is the play.

Miami at Notre Dame picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 74, Notre Dame 68

Moneyline

PASS.

Miami (-150) is 9-0 at home, but anything can happen in ACC play. This line has moved down a bit, but I still don’t feel like there is enough value here.

Against the spread

BET MIAMI -3.5 (-110).

Miami has covered 5 of its last 7 and is an impressive 12-1 straight up this season. It has shown it is worth playing it to win by 4 — only has 2 of its 12 wins by fewer than 4 points this season.

Notre Dame may have covered its last game but has been awful for bettors this season with just a 3-10 ATS record.

The Fighting Irish have failed to cover 5 of their last 6. They also didn’t cover their lone road game, a 73-72 loss at Florida State, closing as 2-point road favorites.

Back MIAMI -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 144.5 (-115).

Both teams have played more to the Under this season. Miami is 5-8 O/U with Notre Dame 6-7 O/U. The Fighting Irish have gone Under in 7 of their last 10.

Miami has gone Under in its last 2 ACC games and in 6 of its last 8 overall.
