Duke vs. Wake Forest Pick
Duke opened as a seven-point favorite in this clash, and that number has stayed around seven since the open.
However, we are currently seeing that number steamed to 7.5 on some books. Meaning it is likely that sharps are coming in and betting on Duke.
Duke is getting 30% of the bets on the spread and accounts for 50% of the handle. The money is heading in the direction of the Blue Devils, and it’s likely that number won’t stay at Duke -7 for long.
Editor’s Note: Since the initial publish of this article, Duke’s star freshmen Dereck Lively II and Dariq Whitehead have been ruled out, and the spread has shifted down to Duke -6.5 as a result. Keep this in mind if you play the Blue Devils on the spread.
