Result: Loss

Duke +9.5

I like the Duke motivation here and also I like the fact Cincy has a new head coach for this one, well an interim head coach waiting on Tubberville to take over next year. Duke started like a house of fire and no doubt has the best QB in this game playing for them. They are elated to here and yet I question Cincy’s attitude and how they are prepared. Duke lost their last 5 games but made it here and now they are a big dog. Just like last nights Central Michigan win as a big dog, these lesser tier teams want to prove their worth in games like this, and Cincy has to be disappointed with their season and having their coach bolt. Dukes defense is weak but Cincy no powerhouse either on D and Duke’s offense can put up some points.

Play 1 Unit on Duke

NBA BONUS – Half Unit- BOSTON +8.5 – I knew the minute the Lakers started to win that Oddsmakers would place a premium number on them, 2 weeks ago this team was left for dead and in disarray, now laying 8.5 points on TNT to the Celtics who match uyp well with them? I will take the points.
