Duquesne at Xavier

Xavier is 10-0 at home, but that is not surprising as they are 34-1 in their last 35 home games - in one of the toughest spots to play in the country. That includes being 4-1 as a favorite of 10-15. They lost at Duquesne in ‘06-‘07 and when they got them at home the following year, they crushed them by 27. Last year Duquesne got them again on the Duke's home court, and I expect this to be another statement game for Xavier. The Dukes are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 and are not performing up to expectations. As a favorite of 7-12.5, the Musketeers are 6-0-1 in their last seven. I'll go with Xavier in a comfortable home win.
