Tough spot with Duke coming off of a loss where they were getting embarrassed late... now they have Miami at home before they go on the road to Louisville. Seems like a good spot for Miami but it's hard to know if this young Duke team comes out focused and gets a statement win here or if they come out looking ahead to the Cardinals.

In terms of 'spots', it's a tricky one for Duke. Pretty bad sandwich spot after a loss w/ a pivotal conference game w/ Ville on deck.
That said, Duke is a MONSTER the past (4) seasons in picking up a win after a loss in conference play. Albeit a small sample size as I only went back 4 seasons (2010-2014), but Duke is 12-0 in ACC play following a loss (they also won their ACC tourney game after any losses to UNC not shown in the record above)
The results are mixed from road wins to home wins to close game to blowouts following a loss by Duke.
The average margin of victory is 13 points following a loss.
It's also of note that Duke blew the doors off of Miami at Coral Gables last year by 21 (a notably stronger Miami squad)
Coach K want be sleeping here. They know Miami is a formidable foe; IMO they will be focused. With that though, I would be reluctant to lay chalk of 15 with Ville on deck. Add in the bad taste Miami has from last year and it is tough to take Duke.
No play. Line seems about right. Lean Miami if anything considering the sandwich spot.

Guy you should know that Duke is a public team...... so line has to be set with that bias in mind...... they needed to make line high enough so public considers Miami as a play...... again if line came out 6-10 I would be all over Miami here but clearly the line is begging for Miami action.....

Yes. duke 74-66. Miami will rebound and play blue collar ball to keep this close. Showed a lot of fight taking UVA to double OT couple of weeks back so I'll grab the boatload of points here
