    Got Duke at +3 once it opened

    1- Duke is outrebounding teams by 10 a game - Purdue is getting outrebounded by 3 a game
    2- Both teams play similar style games, but Duke is by far more physical.
    3- Only reason Purdue is favored is becaused they are at home, similar to Tech-Wisconsin tonight.
    4- Duke is by far more athletic than Purdue.

    I'm going with the more athletic, physical, and experienced team. Oh and that team is even an underdog.

    Early favorite for SBR Jinx of the day. Not sure myself on this. I usually start capping in the morning, so I'll add my unwanted two cents tomorrow.

    I like Duke, but it can go either way. Rhode Island almost beat them.

    I may be wrong about this, but I believe the Duke is one of the teams to have never lost in the ACC/Big Ten series...

    Gotta take Duke...may be a trap, but if it is it won't be the first, nor proably the last, I fall into...

    Exactly Doc. why if they have NEVER lost to Big Ten would they be favored. That is a very good question, like Vegas is wanting people to take Duke.

    LOVE duke and Im a carolina fan, purdue is over-rated, they cant play w/ duke and will get stronarmed and out rebounded. Duke also has more talent and obviously has the edge in coaching, only problem is Home cour/field in college sports is HUGE


    Sheyer/Singler gonna have big games, gotta love the whiteboys ballin!!!!!

    SexyMit's siggy applies to this game. Purdue = underrated Big 10 team, Duke = as overrated as Wisconsin, LSU, and Auburn combined in football.

    Purdue tough as hell at home. Vegas obviously wants money on Duke. Play it how you wish.

    I guess vegas will get what they want from me tonight. I'm on Duke +3. I am a huge Carolina fan as well and I can not see why Duke is the dog. I could even understand a pick with Purdue having the home court advantage.
