Duke Has Dominated Notre Dame In Recent Years
The Blue Devils picked up a 74-65 win over the Louisville Cardinals as 6.5-point road favorites on Saturday night.

Duke improved to 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS over its last three games and to 10-2 SU and 8-4 ATS over its last 12 with the victory.
Last season, Duke suffered its first loss to Notre Dame since 2016 in a 93-89 defeat as a 7.5-point home favorite. The Blue Devils were 7-0 SU and ATS over their previous seven games against the Fighting Irish.

Blue Devils vs Fighting Irish Pick & Insights
Duke: Keys To Cover
The Blue Devils have one of the best teams in the country and are always capable of winning and covering the spread with their best effort. Paolo Banchero had a rare off-night on offense with only 11 points against Louisville; if he bounces back with a big game, Duke has a great shot at being a winning Blue Devils vs Fighting Irish prediction.
Notre Dame: Keys To Cover
Notre Dame has allowed only 67 points per game over its current four-game winning streak against quality opponents, including Louisville, NC State and Virginia. If the Fighting Irish play well on defense and feed off their outstanding home-court advantage, they could be a strong Blue Devils vs Fighting Irish pick with a cover or even an outright win.
