Michigan State vs. Duke

A lot of early season games are complete mismatches, but then we get the huge battles of major conference top teams filtered in that make for excitement. Michigan State and Duke will tangle tonight in a battle for national supremacy. Duke has been immense in winning their first two games by a combined 119 points. The intensity will be a lot stronger here tonight, and both of these teams have long term coaches with a lot of success, and both share a focal point on the defensive end. I think the fact that it is early and both these teams will be defended as strong as they have all season will make for a lot lower scoring game than expected. Michigan State is 8-3 to the UNDER in their last 11 outside the conference. Duke is 19-7 in their last 26 after scoring 90+ and are 10-2 to the UNDER after hitting the 100-point mark in their previous game. This one stays UNDER.
