Take the 7.5, this one will be closeComment -
you are part of the betting public.Comment -
8 or no play bro. that .5 pt could be hugeOriginally posted by BigDeem5Comment -
yes but im not apart of the majority of the public that is on duke with RLM against them and that is what mattersComment -
Who has Ohio St. played? The best team they played was florida by far, and florida isn't great.
Valpo? Virginia Military? North Florida? Wright State?
Say what you will about Duke but they have played much better teams so far. michigan. michigan st., kansas, tennessee, and now tonight osu.
I think Duke is going to be much more ready for this game than osu.Comment -
yes the .5 is huge IMO. i could bet small @7.5 but by my math -8 is huge for meComment -

besides who cares who ohio state played this year. You cant deny that Ohio State has a better team than Duke.Comment -
Wrote this game off last night ... but +7.5 now? Yeah, I know about the line movement with about 2/3 of the bets on Duke, and yeah that does make me pause. But damn. That's a bunch of points to give Duke in a hyped game like this. I don't see Duke getting blown out of the gym. They've still got Coach K. Duke can shoot the ball (6th in the nation, at about 47% of their 3-pt attempts), and Ohio State's perimeter D has not been great against the 3 (146th in the nation, at about 32%). I'm starting to get interested in the Duke side of this equation.Comment -
Listen, I hear what you're saying. Florida played a great game. Florida, however, isn't anywhere near Duke in terms of talent level. Duke has played a better schedule. Won the Maui Invitational. Have the much better coach. Is used to playing in big time atmospheres. Would it be shocking if Duke won outright? Hell no it wouldn't.Originally posted by Big BearComment -
I have felt that Duke was over rated all year long, and that the Duke Spreads have been inflated, however giving Duke 7.5 points is alot, especially when they just went a few games in a row down in Maui playing really good teams and beat them all. The Duke players should be well conditioned after that Maui trip, Although I hate backing Duke the books are making it pretty tempting to take them. If they line goes up the play should be Duke.Comment -
duke ml for me, they either win or get blown outComment -
The line is holding at 7 where I'm at. O/U is 143.5 Waiting to see if the line moves to 8 before getting on board.Originally posted by isotopesComment -
Like Duke in this spot..alot of points to give a well coached team with all that talant
If Duke is hitting from behind the arch..they could win this gameComment -
Duke covers tonight boysComment -
Like Duke, but number has to be at 8. Been looking at the total and can not get any sort of read. Would lean under with the strong defense from Kraft, but it seems that 1st half or 1st 10 minutes under may be a better choice.Comment -
you guys waiting to back duke @+ 8 will more than likely be waiting a long time, ive been wrong before but id be shocked if it ever hits 8, doubt it closes higher than 7 (possibly lower)..Comment -
not in the habit of betting against either of these powerhouses. i know duke hasnt covered a game yet but theyre still good. passComment -
Florida is better than any team Duke has played thus far.Originally posted by PhillyFlyersComment -
this is insane when was the last time Duke was such a big underdog? could this really be a blowout?Comment -
Going back to the 97-98 season:
Coach K is 8-15 straight up and 13-10 against the spread as an underdog.
The last time the Blue Devils were this big of underdogs was in 2008-09 at North Carolina when they lost 79-71 as 8.5-point dogs.
The current spread for tonight’s game is Ohio State -7.5. In the last 14-plus seasons, Duke has only lost a total of 33 games by eight or more points (2.3 per season).
The Blue Devils have been this big of an underdog only four times since 1997-98, and they’re 3-1 ATS in those games but have never won the game outright.
(Thanks to beyondthebets.com for this info.)Comment -
Still having a hard time believing Duke's getting this many points. Pretty sure that will be driven down after 6pm.Comment -

Duke players are smart enough to play Sullinger well... keep him away from the hoop as well as possible but not foul him (he is great foul shooter).
C'mon, Craft is overrated, he looks good surrounded by great players, but he will not be able to take on Duke PG's as well as some of you have stated.
This game is huge for Duke, with a win they stay in national limelight for a long time. And they know how to deal with hard fought national level games. These are 4* and 5* players, McDonald All Americans. One or two of them will get hot tonight, who knows which one... but it will happen.
The clear top coach in the NCAA, Coach K, knows how to get the team ready, not just game plan but mentally, Duke is green but getting better as the season progresses, have already beat some quality clubs. Who has OSU beaten?
And do not sell the Plumlees short, they are hard nosed and SMART.
To boot, if you have Duke + 7.5, down 10 points, several of their kids can hit a "3" with 1 second to go.
And don't tell me about reverse line movement and the public and all that... it is balderdash.
Too many points to give Coach K, he will out coach OSU and keep it close, maybe steal a win. I think they will be leading at halftime. But no 1st half or ML bets here. Just:
Duke + 7.5.Comment -

Which data base? How many are there, LV, offshore? Did you average all of them? How?
What %?
-% of dollars? What if it is one LARGE wager from one heavy hitter?
- % of bets placed?
Do you trust the data? If so, why in the world do you trust it?
What will the FINAL %'s be 5 minutes before the game? At tip off?
ETC, ETC, ETC....Comment -
Sullinger is going to eat the Plumee brothers alive...OSU rolls...Austin Rivers is a nice player in the making though...love his dribbling/shooting has potential to be awesome...still very young needs to mature firstComment
