Michigan State a 12 pt dog @ Duke tomorrow???

[t-wizzle]

I know Duke has looked great to start off the season, but 12 points? Really? Thoughts and opinions on this one please.

As much as Tom Izzo doesn't want to believe it, MICHIGAN STATE CAN NOT RUN. When they run, they commit turnovers. Look how incredibly badly they did vs. UNC 3 times in a row. They couldn't beat a very mediocre Texas team last year. Michigan State is playing unfocused and not rebounding well enough. Duke is firing on all cylinders. They are 10-1 in the Big Ten ACC Challenge, and they have a gigantic non-conference home winning streak. Its possible MSU keeps it close, but they're going to have to slow it down.

After seeing what Duke did to KState who I think actually is a little more talented than Mich St... no way I would touch this game. Especially Duke @ home. It is awfully tempting to try to take a shot with Mich St and really its probably the only side to take but it would not shock me to see Duke win by double digits somewhat easily.

[gamble]

don't think i'll be betting on this game, on sides at least. i agree with the above poster, shouldn't be any closer then the k state game, mich state's offense didn't impress me, although maybe its just early

[No coincidences]

Line says it all -- Duke or no play.

Never take MSU in November/early-December. Then ride them in March.

[thunderingherd23]

that is a very high line....really high

[TrapperDapper]

Izzo gets them up for big games. I agree with riding them late, but I just can't see them laying an egg in this game.

I could see them hanging around and hanging around, only to lose by 13 on a few garbage buckets at the end.

[DuncHen22]

The line seems fair to me.

[RonPaul2008]

Wow, MSU getting 12 points?!? That seems crazy to me. Line should be Duke -8.5 imo.

[BallU13]

Thats just a ton of points...scary.

[Jhart2838]

Duke First Half has been money.

[LVWCsports]

Duke will run Michigan State right out of the building. Duke -12 is a gift !

[ji03]

Although I think the line may be a tad high, MSU is committing way too many turnovers and not rebounding at their normal level, so I think Duke was a good shot at running away with the game.

[hubie69]

12 seems perfect. MSU has struggled early in a lot of games they should have run away with. I think Duke covers, but I'll be staying away.

[oakas]

Seems like alot of points to me. Still going to touch this game.

[jennahazeplays]

ttoo many points to give a good michigan state team

I agree with this

Vegas wants you on MSU. This is DUke or no play and I'm not saying this because of bias. I don't bet Duke games, just watch and pull for them. If Duke plays like they did against K-State or Oregon, this could get ugly. MSU is a tad overrated, but if they can force Duke to play strictly in the half court they could pull the upset. I can't wait for this one. The difference IMO is Duke's defense. Everyone talks about the scorers and athletes and fast break, but their defense is suffocating. Even in a slow down game, Duke's half court defense is superior to MSU. Wouldn't touch this one.

[DVEGAS]

Duke first half at home!!!! They cover like crazy in the first half at home!!! Coach K always has his team ready for big games.

[zephyr]

No way am I betting against this Duke team, at Duke, playing a team with turnover problems. And, on the other hand, I don't want to lay 12 against the Spartans; if they play well, Michigan State could stay in the game. I'm just looking forward to watching the game.

[t-wizzle]

This line has dropped to 10 across the board.

[saints1856]

Duke -6 for the first half. $traight ca$h homie

Isn't the 149 total high?

[mart59a]

Duke wins by 13...

[aman86]

crazy ass spread, sucks cause i wanted to watch this game

[WildcatNation]

I would not touch this game but if you are going to you have to take duke.

[eviltsi]

i'm trying to convice myself, as an msu fan, that they have a chance at keeping it close with duke, but who knows. I love the talent that msu has but singler is an nba ready player. going to be a great watch tonight
gl to all

[Wilforth]

I thought so too but we may be looking at a 85-70 kind of game. Duke will definitely cover. The opening line was to attract all the money on MSU +12, then the line is now down to 10 to make MSU backers happy. But in the end, they'll cry.

[DVEGAS]

Im gonna go out on a small limb and say that this duke team right now is every bit as good, if not better, than last years nat championship team was at the end of the year. Finally got rid of Big Z(thank god) and now the plumlees are running things down low. Also they reloaded at guard, no dis to scheyer.

Can you say that about Mich St?

Duke at home 1st half....im gonna rock it till the wheels fall off.

[chiliv5]

i think vegas is beggin people to get on Mi St.... with that being said I am on Mi St.....

[dukeblue888]

duke and the over my friends

[t-wizzle]

This is, without a doubt, a Duke line. However, it is still a lot of points to give a good team and let's not forget that Duke struggled with Marquette just a week ago.

[BallU13]

1st half duke -6, game MSU +12
