Being the No. 1 team in the country comes with a hefty price tag. Duke is perhaps the largest favorite on the board this year as they come in at mid 30s chalk. The Blue Devils are certainly capable of winning big enough here to cover, but the incentive isn't there. With games vs. ACC competition looming, Coach K is more apt to go deep into the bench to get a feel of who he might be able to squeeze some minutes out of in a pinch. Elon isn't heard of much, but the team has a good pedigree of taking down big numbers as they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight when taking 10 or more, and 6-0 ATS in their last six taking 15 or more. I'll take the abundance of points and go with Elon.
