Duke vs Pittsburgh Prediction
It’s going to be interesting to see how Duke responds to that heartbreaking loss to UNC. I say it doesn’t matter. Pitt isn’t a good team on either side of the ball and is 9-15 ATS on the season. Pitt has also lost 8 times at home, so it’s not like home court can even save this group. Since January 7, Pitt is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games as a double-digit underdog and has lost those games by an average of 17.4 points. I have no choice but to side with Duke in a road beatdown.
