    My angle on why I think Duke will win
    When this team met opponents this year that were considered equal to them, they turned in phenomenal performances. Throw out the ACC tournament, which counted for shit. Look at the NCAA tourney where they are now 3-0 ATS and look at the regular season:

    - 4-point underdog at Wisconsin, they win by 10
    - 3-point underdog at Louisville, they win by 11
    - 5.5-point underdog at Virginia, they win by 6
    -1 point underdog at UNC, they win by 7

    I've seen enough. Gonzaga, if you can take this money from me....good luck

    DUKE -2

    But in all those instances, they were underdogs. This time they are not and i think that makes a difference

      The key is that Duke was ready for those games that were expected to be close. They cared. Coach K has them ready this year after they got bounced in the first round the last couple of years. Now they are headed to the final four. Gonzaga has that one impressive loss to Arizona in Arizona. Other than that, they have played no one. UCLA doesn't count as your marquee win. Duke has taken down possibly the best team (Wisconsin). I don't go contrarian. I still believe the past is the best predictor of the future

          all tournament ive been too afraid to bet duke because the lines seem to good to be true.. this is another.. but they keep covering, and gonzaga is good, but they beat 1 top 25 team all year.. the held close with zona, but all year dukes been playing high level talent while gonzaga plays st marys, BYU and pepperdine.. i just am to afraid to take duke because i know as soon as i finally give in they will lose

                      Refs aren't calling any fouls against Duke. Gonzaga is in big trouble.
