A young Duke team hasn't played many road games and has lost three of the last four contests. In their three losses, they were favorites of -11.5, -8.5, and -7.5. They head to Miami tonight, a sold out arena, where the fans and players are going to be sky-high. In 10 of the last 11 games, Miami has held each of its opponents to less than 33.3 percent shooting per game from long range. Since the arrival of Jim Larrañaga at Miami, the Hurricanes have posted a 3-2 straight up mark against Duke, earning three of Miami’s five all-time wins against the Blue Devils. Miami is one of two teams in the country to beat Duke three or more times (Notre Dame four times). Miami has outscored Duke 380-357 in those five games, and the Hurricanes have made 46.1 percent (135-293) of their shots while the Blue Devils have hit only 40.4 percent (127-314). One of those was a 90-63 Miami rout. The Hurricanes are 11-5-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and the wagering value is on the home team to win the game. Play Miami on the moneyline.
