Online College Basketball Betting – Duke Hosts Clemson In Final Home Game
March 2, 2011
Everyone likes to act like the world is imploding when Duke loses, and that was just the case in the world of online college basketball betting when the Blue Devils lost 60-64 against the V-Tech Hokies over the weekend. Duke will have to keep its head down after being embarrassed, but people have to keep in mind that the fourth best team in the country still doesn’t have their best player on the roster.
In all likelihood, it doesn’t look like Kyrie Irving is ever coming back. Duke hosting the unranked Clemson Tigers will be the final home game for seniors Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith, who helped the team win the national title last season and look to repeat as champions in the coming madness of March. Their odds of winning it all this year aren’t the worst on the board, but it’s hard to imagine Duke doing so without Irving.
Still, any team that has lost just three games in a season thus far is deserving of some recognition. It also boosts Duke’s value in online college basketball betting that they’re 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games. I wouldn’t sweat a road loss to V-Tech all that much. Duke has dominated Clemson in the history of this series, going 8-2 SU and 6-4 ATS in their last 10 meetings with the Tigers.

Online College Basketball Betting Line: Duke -12.5
Clemson is also a bit of a clumsy bet on the road, going 6-11-1 ATS in their last 18 trips away from campus. That has a 5-11 SU record in 16 road games built in to it, and it should be no surprise that their 1-15 SU in their last 16 games when playing Duke. The odds are not on their side.
Look for Duke to send Singler and Smith off in style as the team laments the potential loss of Irving for tournament time. To be honest, Duke probably has a bigger game in mind, like the online college basketball betting showdown against the UNC Tar Heels this Saturday.

Maryland Terrapins -1.0 over MIAMI HURRICANES
Anytime the Miami Hurricanes are playing at home, they’re an easy team to bet against. At just 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games, which includes an 0-5 ATS record at home, the Canes are an absolute no-no against Maryland tonight. The Terrapins are just 2-4 SU and ATS in their last 6 games on the road but I just don’t think Miami is up to snuff in this game.
UNC Tar Heels -2.0 over FSU SEMINOLES
Are you really going to bet against UNC at this point in the season? The Tar Heels are 10-1 SU and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games and are one of the best takes in college online basketball betting so jump all over this great, and rather tempting number.
