Duke's lack of rebounding and depth inside is troubling. If Yale's athletes can beat them up on the backboard, it's safe to say Oregon is going to do the same. Will Duke be able to overcome a -20+ rebounding margin?
On the plus side, Duke lives off of FTs and 3s while Oregon fouls quite a bit and doesn't defend the 3 particularly well. Maybe they'll end up shooting 40+ FTs with a game called similarly to the UNCW game. Tough game to make a large wager on in my opinion. Best of luck, man.

Thanks for the feedback. I feel like everyone has that monster play once in a while. Sometimes everyone agrees across the board (which isn't always a good thing) and sometimes people will be on the other side. If Duke wins I'm a genius, if they don't I'm a complete fool. I'm okay with either one since I'm betting with my own money and not everyone else's.
On a side note I just parlayed UT Arlington ML and Duke ML for a smaller play. I don't see UTA losing and the bet pays 3.11 to 1.
Dang I hate seeing posts like this. I actually put a large bet on Oregon moneyline right when the line came out last week. From what Ive seen, Duke seems very overrated. They dont play much defense and I think Oregon is a LOT better than what people think. Since Im on the west coast (like you) Ive seen them play and theyre offense is legit. I agree with the other poster about the over, this is my favorite game of the week.
If this statistic is true I would highly advise you to put a large wager on Oregon. Can't beat a 70% chance in gambling!
I also did not hype this game/post up. I was just posting my biggest play, did not call it a lock, no brainer, joke of a line etc. I am simply just stating my position. I actually prefer everyone to fade me at this point so I don't get shit if Duke loses. I'd rather you guys thank me if Oregon wins and say "good call" if Duke wins.
I actually live on the east coast now but since I play in pool leagues and flag football leagues I tend to stay up late so I catch games from every time zone. I've been watching both teams and yes Duke is not as athletic as Oregon but I just feel (and this is my opinion) that Oregon is a softer team that plays in a softer conference. They're even positioning themselves as the dog the way they've been talking in the media. Like Duke is Goliath and they're on a mission to take them down.
I'm probably not playing it...until in game if anything...but I don't want anyone to lose a bet. (well, the title does look a little hyped to me when I look back at it...you probably could have put those words within the actual post instead of the title to keep the hype at a lower level) GL nonetheless
LMFAO!!! I actually signed the deal but that's irrelevant to this thread. I want to give everyone that plays at FiveHo's a heads up. They're running the coin through China right now, got a call from my bank. This isn't gonna change until after the first of April. My advice is DO NOT withdrawal or deposit funds with them until after that date. BOL to all in your action.

Duke in bottom half of Defensive rankings. Oregon top 50 in offensive rankings. Obv very simple analysis, but Oregon has a fantastic offense and especially coming off a rough performance against St. Joes are very likely to have a better shooting game. Meanwhile Duke Defense is abysmal (See Yale comeback last week) and Ducks should have no problems putting up 80+. Good luck.....
