Pitt vs. Duke Prediction, Odds, Line, Spread, and Picks - January 11 | 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Season
We have an ACC showdown tonight as the Pittsburgh Panthers are in North Carolina to take on the Duke Blue Devils.
Pitt lost their last game against Clemson, ending their five-game winning streak. The streak saw them take down two ranked ACC rivals, North Carolina and Virginia. Tonight they'll have a chance to take down a third, except this one is on the road.
The #24 Duke Blue Devils survived their trip to Boston College, winning by one point and avoiding a second straight loss. Duke has been awful on the road this season, but at home is a different story. They are 8-0 in Cameron, and the closest game was a nine-point victory over a ranked team.
Tonight is a big matchup for both schools. Let's see if Pitt can move to 5-1 in ACC play with another big upset, or if Duke will maintain their juggernaut status at home.

Pitt vs. Duke Betting Prediction
Duke has had their fair share of struggles this season, but they've been limited to games on the road or at neutral sites. At home, they have been a completely different beast this season. Pitt is by no means a cupcake, but this game may get away from them very quickly tonight in Durham.
Prediction: Duke -8.5 (-115)
