Miami is playing another offensively challenged team in Duke, a team that will need to utilize ball control in order to be competitive in this game. That sets up a strong play with the under, and we will not worry if Miami can cover this number and instead just focus on the under. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend card featuring a strong play from the Big 10 Conference.
