Duke vs Clemson -1.5 O/U 141.5
The Dukies are back after a nice two game win streak beating 177th ranked Boston College by 1 point as well as handling number 64 Pittsburgh at home by 8 points. Something is wrong with this Duke team as you can see by their ranking on Kenpom at 26th. The Blue Devils do not shoot well only ranking 219th in effective field goal percentage and 262nd from downtown. They play ok defense ranking 35th in efficiency, but they tend to turn the ball over a lot ranking 202nd in the league in turnovers. The Tigers on the other hand do not turn the ball over nearly as much ranking 34th in that category. They rank 27th in effective FG% and 12th from deep. Clemson has been a very strong team at home in South Carolina being undefeated up to this point. The Tigers are hot ranking 70th in momentum to Duke ranking 344th. The Blue Devils play poorly on the road ranking 362nd in home road splits. They are also without one of their best players due to injury in Jeremy Roach. Take Clemson here to take care of business and shut the door on the Dukies.
Clemson -1.5 – 2 stars
Bonus Play – TCU team total over 75.5 – 2 stars – Both Kansas State and TCU have really picked up the pace this year. TCU averages 77.8 points per game and 78.6 at home. Kansas State plays fast and hasn’t had a hard schedule as of yet. Spread is too large for me but I like the TT over.
