Duke vs. Florida State Spread

The Duke vs. Florida State spread had number one Duke as the -8.5 favorite at SBG Global.

This game goes off Wednesday, 9:00 pm Eastern – ESPN

Top-ranked Duke visits Florida State on Wednesday night in a game that can be seen on ESPN. Duke is 15-0 this college basketball season and has rarely been tested.  They may not get much of a test on Wednesday unless Florida State plays better than they have recently. The Seminoles are coming off back-to-back road losses at Auburn and Virginia Tech.

Florida State enters Wednesday's game having won 11 of 16 games this season but they are going to have to shoot the ball a lot better than they have recently to keep this game close. They have shot 35 percent from the floor in their past two games and they are just 12 of 50 from 3-point range. Head coach Leonard Hamilton believes the team will shoot better on Wednesday and have a chance to be competitive.  It won’t be easy against a Duke team that has won 25-straight games going back to last season. The Seminoles have one win this season against a team ranked in the Top 20 as they beat Baylor who was ranked #15. Florida State has beaten three #1 ranked teams in school history.

Duke is 8-6 ATS this NCAA basketball season including 2-0 in true road games.  The Blue Devils are the fourth-highest scoring team in the nation, averaging almost 88 points per game.  Looking at more betting stats, the Blue Devils are 4-1-1 Against The Spread in their last 6 road games. The Blue Devils are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 Wednesday games. It should be noted though that Duke is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. ACC teams and they are just 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings at Florida State.

The Seminoles are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games. The Seminoles are 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 home games. The Seminoles are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. the ACC. In this series, the Underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

The Over is 4-1 in the Blue Devils last 5 road games. The Under is 32-12 in Blue Devils last 44 vs. the ACC. The Under is 6-2 in the Seminoles last 8 home games. In this series, the Under is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings at Florida State.
