This is a 10* play on NOTRE DAME

Duke is #2 in the polls and figures to stay in that position when the new rankings come out later today. Obviously, they are among the most talented teams in the country. But the Blue Devils have also failed to cover four of their last five games. Despite still winning by 13, Saturday was a somewhat ugly win over Georgia Tech. Duke trailed at halftime of that game and shot just 2 of 23 from three-point range. Fortunately for them, Georgia Tech simply isn't a very good team and probably wasn't capable of winning at Cameron Indoor Stadium. But anywhere near a similar shooting night from Duke would likely cost them here in South Bend. Notre Dame has struggled for much of 2019 as they're just 1-7 ATS their last eight games and come into Monday riding a four-game SU losing streak. They are 0-4 straight up and against the spread the last four meetings with Duke. But Mike Brey's teams have also been strong at home and you almost never see them getting as many points as they are tonight. They did just get blown out by Virginia here on Saturday, but I expect a better performance tonight. Duke's three-point shooting woes are very real and will make it difficult to cover large spreads such as this one the road. Play on NOTRE DAME
