Duke will be fighting an uphill battle on Saturday as the experts have pegged them as the 12.5-point underdog. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a three-game streak of failing to cover when playing as the underdog.

Saturday's contest might be decided on the ground as these two are both standouts in the run game.
