    Monday's Best College Basketball Bets: North Carolina State vs. Duke

    North Carolina State vs. Duke

    NC State has lost four consecutive games and six out of seven. At 2-6 in conference play, they are heading towards being one of the worst teams in the ACC this year. How will they compete with a Blue Devils team in Cameron Indoor Stadium that has a great chance of going 20-0 in the league this year?
    The biggest factor behind this wager is the lookahead factor with UNC coming to town on Saturday. The Blue Devils may also be somewhat sluggish after a short turnaround following Saturday’s win over Wake Forest, a game they won by seven after leading by 15.
    The Wolfpack offense should also be able to handle the Cameron Crazies, as they turn the ball over at the 17th-lowest rate (14.3%) in the country.

    Pick: N.C. State +22 (-112)
