NCAA Basketball Betting: Duke Blue Devils Beat Temple 74-64
Thursday, January 10th, 2008
Duke -13.5 at Temple
No. 9 ranked Duke Blue Devils were impressive in their game against the Temple Owls, dominating all throughout and coming up with a 74-64 victory on the Temple home court at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Duke looked all set to cover the -13.5 point spread, going up by 16 points at the end of the first-half with a score of 39 to 23. However, Duke stepped off the gas pedal on the 2nd half, and were outscored by Temple 41-35 in order to bring the final score to 74-64 in favor of Duke. While the Duke Blue Devils win the game against Temple straight up, the 10 point margin at the end of regulation will not be enough to cover the -13.5 point spread. Sports bettors on Duke lose ATS against Temple.
NCAA Basketball Betting: Cornell Big Red at Duke Blue Devils -30

Duke 81, Cornell 67
Cornell Big Red at Duke Blue Devils -30
A -30 point spread for the Duke Blue Devils against the Cornell Big Red is a very serious handicap. Even before the start of the game, the outcome was already certain that the Duke Blue Devils (10-1) would win their NCAA basketball game against the Cornell Big Red (6-4). But then, a -30 point spread kept the sportsbetting odds very interesting, and certainly most bets would fly the way of Cornell Big Red. After all, covering 30 points against the spread is not an easy task. That kind of point spread is something that the USA Basketball team can cover easily with big stars like Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony in the starting five.
And while the Duke Blue Devils might have some future all-stars in its line-up, it’s a no-brainer that there was no way that they would cover a -30 point spread considering that Duke averaged 86.8 points scoring as opposed to Cornell’s 78.9 points per game. Add also the fact that Cornell have been playing some good basketball, winning its last 2 games against Quinnipac and Stony Brook despite playing away.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. the Kentucky Wildcats is indeed one of the biggest rivalries in NCAA Men’s Basketball.
