Pick: Notre Dame +16.5 (-105)
Wednesday night takes us to one of the most historic arenas in all of college basketball. As the Duke Blue Devils host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Atlantic Coast Conference action. This should be a solid game much like it is every time these two teams get together and the majority of ACC teams get together. These two teams are having very different regular seasons, but this one should be a close and competitive match up throughout the entire day of the contest here in North Carolina on Wednesday night.
Notre Dame is in a bit of a rebuilding season and they are rather young and they have a brand new head coach after 20+ years of consistency with Mike Brey. Micah Shrewsbury has this team heading in the right direction. However, it is going to take some time for this Notre Dame team to be successful within the Atlantic Coast Conference and college basketball as a whole. They have been struggling throughout conference play, and they will look to get things going in the right direction with an upset victory on the road against Duke here on Wednesday night as they look to take down a nationally ranked Duke team that is among the best in the conference.
They will have to play one of their best games of the season, and hopefully not live and die by the three-point ball, which is something that has hurt them throughout the early part of the year. For the most part it has been the Markus Burton show in South Bend this season, as the freshman has quickly established himself as one of the best young players in college basketball. Notre Dame has struggled on the offensive end of the court, as only a couple of guys are capable of stepping up and scoring each and every night which has hampered their performance in a major way.

Duke comes into this game looking to grab another conference victory, and continue putting themselves in a position to win the conference heading into the final full month of the regular season. They have been consistent throughout the year, and they have been hard to beat at home much like each and every year where they play in one of the toughest and most energetic venues in the sport. Kyle Filipowski has led the way for Duke this season as the sophomore is putting up quality numbers for the Blue Devils, and he will look to continue that trend in this game against Notre Dame on Wednesday night.
Duke comes into this game sitting inside of the top 10 of the country with 16 victories through their first 21 games of the season. They will look to further establish themselves as a top 10 team in the country with a quality performance here in this one as they look to pick up their 17th win of the year here on Wednesday against Notre Dame. Duke comes into this game favored by nearly 20 points and they will look to use that home court advantage to cover the spread here in this one against Notre Dame. However, that is something Duke has struggled with throughout the early part of the year, having such high spreads in their games.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Duke is 10-10-1 ATS, Notre Dame is 11-11
- Notre Dame is 5-2 ATS on the road
- Duke is 6-6 ATS at home
I expect this game to be closer than the oddsmakers have predicted as I look for Notre Dame to cover the 16 1/2 point spread in this game on Wednesday night on the road against Duke. Although Notre Dame is not coming out on the correct end of these close games, they are keeping the games close and putting teams on alert more often than not. That is exactly what I expect out of this game on Wednesday night in Cameron as I look for Notre Dame to cover the spread here in this one.
