The current betting odds have Duke listed as a 16 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Duke has looked really good in their games this season with their 16-5 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They have looked good in the ACC too with their 7-3 conference record which has them right near the top of the conference. They have also looked great on their home court this year with their 10-2 home record and even though they are coming off a loss in their last game, they lost to UNC who is ranked as one of the best teams in the country right now so they will be looking to bounce back on their home court here. Meanwhile, Notre Dame has looked terrible in their games this season with their 7-15 record overall and their 2-9 conference record which has them right at the bottom of their conference. They have also looked terrible in their road games with their 1-6 road record. Notre Dame lost their last game on the road to Pitt by 10 points and this game isn't going to be any better for them on the road again but against a much stronger team now. Duke is also playing with something to prove this season and will be looking to bounce back at home in a big way after the way they lost to UNC in their last game. The best way to place a bet here is on Duke to cover the spread in this game.

"I mean, we competed. It's hard to slow this team down when they get hot in certain moments. We've been a good defensive team for the whole season, but we haven't been the last three or four games." - Micah Shrewsberry after his team’s loss against Pitt in their last game on Saturday.

“You can play really well and compete your butt off and still lose to them because they're a really good team. But we didn't compete to the level that you need to to have a chance to beat this team tonight. And that's what I'm disappointed about.” - Jon Scheyer after his team’s loss against UNC in their last game on Saturday.
