Analysis:

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #338 Under 54.5 in Duke Blue Devils @ Miami Hurricanes (12p.m., Saturday, November 2 ABC) We hit the under with Miami last week and we will go to the well again this week. 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.
