- Alabama are 3-4-0 ATS in their last 7 games at a neutral venue
- The Over has cashed in 10 of Duke’s last 13 games
- The Over has hit in 5 of Alabama’s previous 7 games
Head To Head
- Duke lead the all-time series 1-0
- Duke won 74-64 when the two teams last met in November 2013
Duke Form
Duke enter the Elite Eight of March Madness having won 14 consecutive games to take their record for the season to 34-3.
The Blue Devils ended the regular season on an eight-game streak, and maintained that form in the ACC tournament to claim the crown.
They beat Georgia Tech 78-70 and North Carolina 74-71 to make the final, where they beat Louisville 73-62.
Duke then dominated in the first two rounds of the national tournament as they blew out Mount St Mary’s 93-49 and Baylor 89-66.
The Blue Devils then hit the 100-point mark for the fifth time this season as they downed Arizona in the Sweet 16, 100-93.
Alabama Form
Alabama have bounced back from their SEC disappointment to make it to the Elite Eight of the national tournament.
The Crimson Tide spluttered late in the regular season as they lost four of their final seven games, sending them into the conference tournament in inconsistent form.
They successfully negotiated their first outing, beating Kentucky 99-70, only to suffer a 104-82 blowout defeat at the hands of Florida in the next round.
Alabama put that behind them in the first three rounds of March Madness, starting with a 90-81 victory over Robert Morris.
The Crimson Tide then beat Saint Mary’s CA 80-66, before erupting offensively to beat BYU 113-88 in the Sweet 16.
Verdict
Duke have the offense to outsprint Alabama and the defense to make big stops.
The Blue Devils are the best team in this tournament, so we are backing them to march on to the Final Four.
