Syracuse Orange at Duke Blue Devils
Syracuse covers massive 20.5-point spread against dominant Duke team at home
The pick: Syracuse Orange +20.5 at −110
Lost. Final: Syracuse Orange 64, Duke Blue Devils 101.
Duke's 23-2 record and home dominance make them heavy favorites, but Syracuse's respectable 15-11 record suggests they're not a pushover. The 20.5-point spread is simply too large for a conference matchup where motivation and pride matter. With no injuries reported for either team, Syracuse should keep this within three possessions.
