Duke has won 15 in a row. They're getting overvalued by oddsmakers, however, failing to cover two of their last three. They beat North Carolina State, 74-64, as a 22-point favorite and failed to cover in their last road game, a 63-56 win at Wake Forest as double-digit chalk. Syracuse is 8-4 at home. The Orange have the frontcourt muscle one needs against Duke with 6-11 senior Eddie Lampkin Jr. (10.1 ppg, 9 rpg) and senior Jyare Davis (5.4 rpg). 6-4 junior guard J.J. Starling (17.9 ppg, 3.8 rpg) leads the team in scoring with Syracuse ranked fourth in the ACC in rebounding. They come off a 75-66 win at Cal as a +5 underdog. Syracuse is on a 7-1 ATS run including covering as dogs of +15.5 and +11.5. They're 4-2 ATS as a double-digit dog this season. Play Syracuse.
