Bags Monday LARGE **Syracuse vs Duke**

Duke -19.5 (LARGE)

Duke -11.5 (sm)

Haven’t seen much of Syracuse, but made my play after seeing them play the first 5 min vs SMU - that defense is a concern.  Duke should win by 23+. 

12-4 last couple weeks….58% LG ATS…. No days off till April. 

Bit of a sandwich spot. Beat Clemson an got big game with Michigan next

@smellybunty

Want to know about great sandwich spot…Jersey Mike’s - Club Sub, w/ parm bread and chipotle mayo - best sandwich for your $$$.

addicted.

all are unreal.....

Good luck Bags.  

@LB_Dirtbags

 Assuming the 11.5 is the half line you’re going small on?

Well, fair enough both sandwich spots lose you money but at least with Jersey Mikes you fill your belly.

I have the over at 142. I believe duke gets 82 to 88. Do you like the over?

You guys are making me hungry ??

LFG. Dukies smash the Orange. 

@smellybunty

 Dalesandros in Philly will fill.your belly and it's delish and ESB approved .

Tony Luke's too.

If you are ever in in Leesburg Va, Spankys Pizza and Subs- steak and cheese with mushrooms, onions, green peppers is yum.

Did you know....that the Syracuse OrangePersons did not play a road game until January 6th, their 15th game of the season? They played an early season game in Philadelphia against Drexel, but that was part of the Autumn Invitational, which was played in the Sixers arena. Then just before Thanksgiving they played three tournament games here in Las Vegas. Tonight will be only their 7th true road game. I noticed something interesting after looking at the previous six.

January 6th at Georgia Tech - easily covered the 1st half, didn't cover the 2nd half

January 10th at Pittsburgh - easily covered the 1st half, barely covered the 2nd half which ended in a 35-35 tie

January 17th at Boston College - covered the 1st half, didn't cover the 2nd half/OT

January 27th at N.C. State - covered the 1st half, didn't cover the 2nd half

February 2nd at North Carolina - didn't cover the 1st half, somehow covered the 2nd half after getting outscored 26-8 to begin the 2nd half

February 7th at Virginia - covered the 1st half, didn't cover the 2nd half

So the Orange have lost their last 4 road games after winning the first two against crappy Georgia Tech and even crappier Pitt. They're an excellent 5-1 ATS in the 1st halves on the road, but they tend to fall apart in the 2nd halves. Duke will be a tremendous play tonight at halftime if Syracuse can manage to stay within twelve (which I don't think they will). 

Can anyone who watched the Big Monday ESPN game two weeks ago between Syracuse and North Carolina explain how North Carolina allowed weak Syracuse to shave 22 points off a 72-40 lead for a deeply suspicious 87-77 final when UNC was laying -11.5?

Great post Bator, interesting stuff 

Kinda similar situation as Duke game. Big game on deck no need to kill yourself all game get the win and who cares the score. Got up big game was over and didnt give a shit the rest of the way to a back door. Duke has failed to win by 20 or more vs the 2 sh!t teams they played. So, theres that. If Duke played this game 100% all the way through they should win by 30 but thats not what likely happens. But they could definitely cover. Small play to me on Syracuse

Michigan ain't till Saturday.

I think the line is telling us what likely happens. Monday night murder job.

@MrBator

LOL....my first bad beat in a long time was yesterday. I had GB +1.5. Milw was up 1, got a steal and GB fouled them with 1 second left in the game. 2 free throws later, and I lost by +3. Silly.

Got it back with Belmont +1.5....which was also a stupid game. I was down 15 at the half, then Belmont proceeded to blow them out 63 - 31 in the SECOND HALF and won by 17. 

LB.....

Get it Long Beach  

Super bird - Denny's 

Ya Duke covers the 20, they’re on ATS loss streak and Syracuse is on a ATS win streak.

This is where both streaks come to an end. Gotta okay Duke or pass.

I have Duke -20.5 parlayed to Houston +140 and another parlay with Duke -20.5 parlayed to Houston +135, but the bet that matters is Duke -20 risking 17.6 units. 

I also risked 6.6 units on Houston +3.

Yes, Duke is 0-3-1 ATS lately, though a bettor could have gone 4-0 betting against them by getting down on Clemson +13.5 two days ago.
