St John's vs Duke Predictions & Picks

Duke are tipped to cover the spread as they move on to the Elite Eight.

The Blue Devils’ approach to this one will look very similar to Kansas’ plan for the Red Storm in round two, but unlike the Jayhawks, Duke have the talent and size to execute the plan to perfection.

  • Duke have won 13 straight games
  • Duke are 7-4-0 ATS in their last 11 games
  • Duke are 7-2 in the previous 9 meetings
  • The Under has hit in 11 of St John’s last 12 games

Head To Head

  • Duke lead the all-time series 16-6
  • Duke won 91-61 when the two teams last met in February 2019
