The NC State Wolfpack (9-10, 2-6 ACC) and the No. 20 Duke Blue Devils (17-2, 9-0) are set to tangle Monday in Durham. Tip-off at Cameron Indoor Stadium is at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the NC State vs. Duke odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
NC State makes the short trip to Durham with a 5-game losing streak in tow. Including Saturday’s 63-57 loss to SMU (Mustangs favored by 3), the Wolfpack is just 1-6 both straight up and against the spread (ATS) since Dec. 31.
Duke also played Saturday, and it needed a late surge to avoid losing to Wake Forest. The 11.5-point favorites rallied to earn a 63-56 win over the Demon Deacons. Duke won its 13th in a row despite shooting a season-low 36.8% from the field.

NC State at Duke picks and predictions
Prediction
Duke 80, NC State 56
Moneyline
No interest. PASS.
Against the spread
When tabbed as an underdog of 5-plus points, NC State is 0-4 ATS. The Wolfpack is 0-6 ATS in road/neutral games.
BartTorvik pegs NCSU at No. 106 in its efficiency ratings. Since Dec. 21, Duke has played 4 teams outside the top-100. Over that quartet of games, the Blue Devils averaged 86.8 points per game while yielding just 59.5.
The Wolfpack figures to have no answers for Duke’s rim-and-3 game, and the Devils are much the better team on the boards. And after Saturday’s misfire against Wake Forest, look for Duke to be engaged throughout.
BACK THE BLUE DEVILS -21.5 (-115).

Over/Under
NC State plays at a bottom-third tempo while Duke plays at a slightly-below-average pace. The Wolfpack will want to play large swaths of this contest at a snail’s pace. But the Blue Devils fought through games against other ACC turtles Notre Dame (Jan. 11) and Virginia Tech (Dec. 31), and both of those contests hit Overs.
Duke is a highly efficient offense that gets a lot of scoreboard adds 3 at a time, and the Blue Devils are exceptional on the offensive glass. Peg this meeting with a slight lean on the OVER 134.5 (-110).

NC State at Duke Odds, Picks and Predictions
In a highly anticipated ACC matchup, the NC State Wolfpack will be taking on the Duke Blue Devils. Both teams have had their fair share of success this season, making this game a must-watch for college basketball fans.
The odds for this game are currently favoring Duke, with the Blue Devils being listed as 6-point favorites. This is not surprising considering Duke’s strong record and home-court advantage. However, NC State should not be underestimated, as they have shown they can compete with some of the top teams in the conference.
When it comes to picks and predictions, it’s always tough to go against a team like Duke, especially when they are playing at home. The Blue Devils have a talented roster led by standout freshman Paolo Banchero, who has been a force to be reckoned with all season. They also have a strong defense that can make it difficult for opposing teams to score.
On the other hand, NC State has been playing well recently and has shown that they can hang with tough competition. With players like Dereon Seabron leading the way, the Wolfpack have the potential to pull off an upset in this game.
Ultimately, I believe Duke will come out on top in this matchup. They have too much talent and experience to be taken lightly, especially on their home court. However, NC State is a resilient team that could make things interesting and potentially cover the spread.
Prediction: Duke wins, but NC State covers the spread.
