The Duke Blue Devils are returning to their ACC schedule after upsetting the then-No. 1 Michigan Wolverines and claiming the No. 1 spot for themselves.
Now, Duke will face the unranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish, in what should be an easy win for the Blue Devils, but could be a trap game for head coach Jon Scheyer and his young squad.
Despite trap games over looming overhead, the Vegas oddsmakers are unsurprisingly leaning in favor of the Blue Devils' capturing yet another dominant win, and further cementing themselves as the top team in the nation.
