Troy vs. Duke

March 17, 2017
img7:20 PM Eastern

March Madness? Not yesterday as their were only two teams lined as dogs that went on to win their game outright, and both of those were small dogs. Today we have Troy taking on Duke. The Blue Devils came from behind in four straight games to win the ACC Tournament, but their path in the NCAA Tournament has had mixed reviews. The Blue Devils have certainly won it all, but many times they get bounced very early, or fail to cover, and have been one of the worst ATS teams in the field come tourney time. Troy closed the season at 10-2 in their last 12 games, and bring a six-game winning streak to the dance. They are an unlikely winner here, but have enough to keep from getting blown out, something Duke has failed to do in countless occasions. Make the play on Troy.
