The Duke Blue Devils are ready for their first West Coast matchup of the season as the No. 6 team in the nation visits the unranked California Golden Bears.
Led by head coach Jon Scheyer and true freshman Cameron Boozer, as well as veteran stars Isaiah Evans and Caleb Foster, the Blue Devils have torn through the beginning of conference play.
Now, hopefully unaffected by jet lag and ready for a fifth win against an ACC opponent and 16th win of the season, Duke is unsurprisingly favored in the game.
No. 6 Duke Blue Devils vs. Cal Golden Bears final odds
- Spread: -14.5, Duke
