Duke is BIG Online Betting Favorite in ACC Play

There is no surprise here that the Blue Devils have another large point spread to cover in Online Betting circles. The question is whether Bet US may have this line a bit too high for a conference game against the Clemson Tigers.

March Madness is just beginning, and already there are major ramifications with each game for Bracket placement and seeds. Selection Sunday is just over a week away, and Clemson is striving to make the cut.

Clemson Tigers (19-9) at #4 Duke Blue Devils (26-3) – Wednesday March 1 at 9:00 ET

Cameron Indoor Stadium (12,000 sort of) – Durham, North Carolina

Online Betting Line:

Clemson Tigers (11-13 ATS) +12.5

Duke Blue Devils (16-12 ATS) -12.5

Duke will be playing two hours after their nemesis North Carolina takes on Florida State at home. Does that mean the Blue Devils may be too caught up with that game result instead of concentrating on the Tigers?

Clemson’s only chance involves their defense and the ability to hold other inferior teams to 60 points on average per game. That’s number 12 in the nation, and we’re not talking about the Rhythm Nation here Janet Jackson fans.

Duke has the highest average in the ACC averaging 82.1 points a game. That happens to be good enough for 8th best in the nation I talked about earlier. For your Online Betting information, I don’t expect them to put up 80 plus against this team on this date.

If this game were non-conference, you could just grade it as a WIN already for the Dukies. They’re Devilish when an outsider comes into their own version of hell….but it’s Blue.

They have an 11 year streak of 86 wins against those fuzzy foreigners coming to Cameron Indoor Stadium. While Clemson isn’t as much an outsider as most, they have a good share of losses towards that obnoxious streak of wins.

The season is late at this point, and many teams are trying to rest their starters when they can for this taxing run at March Madness glory. I believe Duke will cruise later once they’ve put the game away. This opens it up for that ever intrusive back-door cover against the Online Betting point spread.

Although Duke may be 12-0 at home against Clemson straight up (SU), they are a 50-50 proposition against the spread (ATS) with a 6-6 result for Online Betting needs.
