It is a near certainty that the Duke Blue Devils will make the Big Dance. Rookie head coach Jon Scheyer has had his College Basketball odds ups and downs this season. But he has probably done enough to ensure the Blue Devils will get their ticket punched to March Madness. Indeed, Scheyer recently got his signature win over the North Carolina Tar Heels. And some of the frustration of Blue Devil fans was quieted. Correlate those two losses lost that temporary goodwill. Hence there is a lot of confusion on how to rate the Blue Devils.

Notre Dame at Duke SBG Odds Overview
Notre Dame may get some love from bargain hunters as a big road dog that will fight hard for retiring head coach Mike Brey. But Duke will get a discount online betting price as the slumping home team has not dominated this season.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish Team Overview
Overall, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 10-15 straight up, 6-19 against the spread, and 14-9 over/under the total. Notre Dame has national metrics of 187th for scoring offense, 149th for field goal percentage, 44th for 3-point field goal percentage, 30th for free throw percentage, and 333rd for offensive rebounding.

Overall, it has been a good career for coach Mike Brey. Since taking over in 2000, Brey has a 482-271 record and a .640 win percentage. But the Fighting Irish have only one NCAA Tournament bid in the past four seasons it was held. This campaign is the fourth losing record in the last five seasons for Brey. So far, Notre Dame has fallen behind its rivals on the transfer portal, NIL, and recruiting. Brey is going out on his terms at the right moment.
Duke Blue Devils Team Overview
The Duke Blue Devils are 17-8 straight up, 9-16 against the spread, and 9-15 over/under the total. In sum, Duke has national metrics of 178th for scoring offense, 232nd for field goal percentage, 261st for 3-point field goal percentage, 25th for free throw percentage, and 12th for offensive rebounding. While on defense, Duke is 43rd for scoring defense, 171st for field goal percentage permitted, 29th for 3-point field goal percentage allowed, and 19th for defensive rebounding.
Duke failed to get the money in eight of its previous ten games. Additionally, one of its last five outings went over the total. As mentioned earlier, the Blue Devils got their signature home win over North Carolina. But that has proven to be something of a mirage. Duke could not handle that success and lost its next two games.
