Pick

I get why Duke’s favored here, but I’m not backing the Blue Devils in their current form, even at home against a miserable Notre Dame team. We really haven’t seen much of a killer instinct from Duke in conference play outside of doubling up Georgia Tech a couple of weeks ago and the games they’re winning, more often than not have been fairly close. Notre Dame isn’t a great team, but there’s enough there that the Irish could keep this game respectable. Give me Notre Dame and the points.
