Their season finale is Sunday in Chapel Hill against archrival North Carolina; first, Duke has to get through the Florida State Seminoles (22-7 SU, 15-7-1 ATS), the most profitable team in the ACC.
Florida State has been knocking on the door of the NCAA Tournament for most of Leonard Hamilton’s five years as head coach. The ‘Noles are just about locked in now after beating Clemson 73-66 as 1-point road dogs. They might be a bit overvalued at No. 24 in the polls; FSU is all defense and no offense, a classic “under” combination at 14-9 on the season.
Duke plays some serious D as well. The under is 17-10 this year, not to mention a winner in nine of the last 10 matchups between the Blue Devils and the Seminoles.
