Duke Performance Recap and Analysis
The Duke Blue Devils are expected to maybe the best team in the entire country this season. After not having a season a year ago where they won the NCAA tournament, Duke is definitely going to come out this year trying to do everything that they possibly can. Any season that doesn’t result in a national championship is always going to be looked at as a major disappointment for a team like the Blue Devils.
Their first two games of the season saw them play well, and it would make sense if they find a way to do so once again in this game, even if they weren’t to win. This game has a good chance of going either side. Because of how talented both of these teams are, we truly don’t know what we’re going to see from either team. It’s going to be tough to bet, but that just means that you have to continue reading our Duke Blue Devils game tonight’s prediction and find out who we’re going to be taking.
There are many players at Duke that are expected to shine this year, and one of those is Mark Mitchell. He comes into this game after a 13-point and 7-rebound performance for the Blue Devils. He was on the USA team in high school and is expected to be one of the best college basketball players in America this season.
Key Injuries
The college basketball injury report is currently clean for Duke. They don’t have any new injuries that haven’t been reported yet, which is great to see at the beginning of the season.
Betting Trends to Know
Duke is currently 2-0 against the spread, and although it’s just the beginning of the season, it’s important to understand for both of these NCAA basketball teams. We have to find all of the best trends that we can possibly find, and Duke looks good in that department.
Kansas Recap and Analysis
The Kansas Jayhawks aren’t any different than the Duke Blue Devils. When looking at the Kansas Jayhawks record, it’s good to see that this team is starting off the season the way that we were hoping for. They come into this game at 2-0 on the season after impressive wins against Omaha and North Dakota State. This is likely going to be their toughest game on the NCAAB schedule for quite some time as they realize how good of a team Duke truly is.
Kansas is hopeful that they can get some production after losing a few key players a season ago and one of those guys that’s going to have to step up is Gradey Dick. Gradey dick comes into this one as a five-star high school recruit, McDonald’s All-American, and is expected to be a high draft pick when it’s his time.
He’s going to have to play a major role in this Duke vs Kansas betting picks because of what he can do on the court. The college basketball standings could look good this season for Kansas as they have a real opportunity of being the #1 team in the country with some big games coming up.

Kansas comes into this game at 0-2 against the spread this season. However, with it being so early in the season, it’s tough to truly judge exactly what that means. They will have to come out and impress in this game if they want to have a better record against the spread.

Our favorite over/under bet in this game is going to be taking the over, as I expect both teams to score. Even with it being early in the season, the under seems too low.
