Duke vs. Ohio State Predictions
This is a nice top-25 matchup to watch on a Wednesday night. Duke checks in ranked 17th in the country while Ohio State is 25th.
The Buckeyes started the season with three easy wins before falling to San Diego State in the Maui Invitational. However, Ohio State quickly bounced back with victories over Cincinnati and Texas Tech, bringing its record to 5-1.
Duke has picked up three wins over opponents outside of the Power 5 conferences. However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing for the Blue Devils when they face the big boys. Duke lost 64-69 to Kansas on Nov. 15. In early-season tournament action, the Blue Devils narrowly beat Oregon State 54-51 and Xavier 71-64 before getting routed 75-56 against Purdue.
So what gives? The home-court advantage will certainly help the Blue Devils, but can this young group be trusted to pull out a win of six or more points? Instead, it’s better to focus on the total in this game. Duke has gone 4-0 to the under in its last three games. Some of them were by a longshot against Power 5 opponents. This Blue Devils team excels at defending and rebounding.
Because of that, let’s take the under for this primetime matchup.
