Kansas vs. Duke picks and predictions

Prediction

Duke 76, Kansas 71

Moneyline

Duke (-625) will set you back more than 6 times your potential return, and that's a huge risk in a battle between ranked teams. While Kansas lost its only previous game against a ranked team, and an ACC team at that, the Blue Devils have really only faced one major test, too. We'll learn a lot about these teams Tuesday.

PASS.

Against the spread

KANSAS +11.5 (-115) is catching double digits, and that's quite a bit for a battle between marquee programs. The Jayhawks have alternated covers and non-covers in their 4 games to date. Remember, though, Kansas is 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS in the past 6 meetings, and the underdog has won outright in each of the past 4 meetings.

Over/Under

UNDER 150.5 (-110) is the lean in this titanic matchup at MSG. The Under has cashed in each of the past 3 meetings in this series.

Kansas has cashed in 3 of 4 games to date, but proceed with caution. Against the only power conference team it has faced, Kansas went Over in North Carolina.

Duke has gone low in 3 of 4 games, too, and the total went Under in the marquee battle with Texas.
