Free Pick & Score Prediction

The Duke Blue Devils should roll in this game. Sure, the Blue Devils were not overly impressive in their most recent win over Tennessee State. The Blue Devils are really good. The lone loss to Kansas was a loss, but they were without three of their best players. Duke is terribly athletic, and can really score. Look for Harry Giles to play even more, with Luke Kennard and the rest of the bunch. Despite it not being a home game, it may as well be for the Blue Devils. Duke is going to roll in this game. The final bet for Wednesday from Greensboro is the Duke Blue Devils -20 over the Elon Phoenix.
