Duke can match Bulter's stiff D but they can actually score as well. As much as I'd like to see Butler pull it off, Duke wins and covers -6.5.

Because Butler got MSU into foul trouble and MSU could barely hit over 50% FT when they got there, the book's are giving Butler to much credit here. Duke doesn't miss many FT's and will regain their title swagger by winning and covering.

What in the hell are you people smoking??!!  Duke may not even win this game let alone cover!  Give me the 7 and hopefully 8 after all of the Duke love is over!!  hahahahaha!!

EASY MONEY!!

THIS WILL ALL BE DECIDED BY THE REFS...IF THEY DECIDE TO CALL FOULS ON DUKE IN THIS GAME UNLIKE OTHERS, BUTLER WILL COVER THE SPREAD.  HOWEVER, IF THEY DONT CALL FOULS AND "LET THEM PLAY" I THINK DUKE COVERS...

DUDE AND THAT ZOUBECK DUDE IS A BEAST OUT THERE, HE HAS A SERIOUS PRESENCE.

I HAVENT UNDERESTIMATED BUTLER, TOOK EM AT -1.5 YESTERDAY...BUT MY IMMEDIATE IMPRESSION AFTER WATCHING THE DUKE GAME WAS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BEAT BUTLER BY AT LEAST TEN

duke can rebound and hit outside shots which is perfect against butler. in the end i just see them making more shots than butler. duke has probably gone through the easiest road ever to the championship game so i'm not really overhyped on them though, especially since baylor would have beat them with fair refs. if the game is called fairly (which it won't be) i like butler to cover.

as for the guy up top talking about the butler msu game... butler missed a ton of ft's as well and had one of their poorer shooting games, yet still pulled it out. there is no way they will match that poor of shooting tomorrow night.

Butler +290

Bull-"dogs" +7.5 LRG!!

Bull-"dogs" Line + Over sm!

Blue Devils without a doubt cover. Who does Lang have his 15 dimer on?

Not only the public but the smart money jumped on this early and often knowing well they'd never see this bargain line (-6.5) again.
