Blue Devils Betting Prediction
Bet on the Duke Blue Devils this season at our number 1 rated sportsbook TotalBets.com
Coming off a 35-5 season in which the Blue Devils were crowned the national champions, Duke is again the odds on favorite of winning the national championship again. The Blue Devils do not lose much production except in the front court, where big men Brian Zoubek and Lance Thomas are gone. Leading scorers Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith return, as do wing Andre Dawkins and big men Mason and Miles Plumlee.
The biggest question mark for Duke is about its incoming recruiting class, ranked one of the top in the country. Point guard Kyrie Irving could be slotted as the starter, and averaged 25 points and 7 assists per game for St. Patrick High School in New Jersey last year.
We also finally get to see the highly anticipated sequel to Stephen Curry in little brother Seth, who transferred from Liberty University and sat out last season. By all accounts, Duke, listed at approximately 5 to 1 to win the national championship, should be considered the best team in the country heading into the season.

As I have written numerous times in the past, line shopping is one of the most important parts of sports betting, and one of the biggest advantages to betting sports online in general. It is critical in the long term to have money in several different books, simply because all books offer different lines regularly. Even if the line is the same at two books, one may offer a reduced line because money is coming in differently at both sites.
