Bet on South Dakota vs. Duke

These two have no recent meetings to consider. The spread is high, but Duke has been good against the spread this season. Their only failed effort came on the road and by ½ a point. Duke has the talent to pull away from this South Dakota team and the Coyotes should be somewhat overwhelmed by playing at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The public betting is siding heavily with Duke and I am with them.
