Duke Blue Devils at Notre Dame Fighting Irish Prediction

Duke is just 2-3 on the road beating Wake Forest by 2 and pasting an overmatched UNLV by 49 as a -24 spread favorite. The Blue Devils are a mediocre 4-4 overall conference games this season and an embarassing 1-3 on the road with just the narrow 2-point victory over the Demon Deacons. Notre Dame is a non confidence building 1-3 straight up in their last four games, but the Irish has dropped just one game at the Purcell Pavilion in this campaign and that came against a very good Virginia team. The host is an underlay here.
