They are a solid 8-2 straight up at home, and they have won four of their last five home games versus Duke outright. The Blue Devils have failed to cover in five straight road games, and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. The Home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. I really wouldn't want to have to lay 2-3 points her with a team that tends to play so many close games. Gonna grab the home team on the ML. College Basketball Pick
