Pitt vs. Duke Prediction, Betting Pick, Latest Odds for Tuesday, January 7th

The Duke Blue Devils and the Pittsburgh Panthers will meet for an ACC affair tonight. Cameron Indoor will be the site for this conference matchup.

Duke begins the contest with a record of 12-2. That record is the best in the ACC. The strong start to the Blue Devils season ranks them fourth in the nation.

Few college basketball teams have a bigger brand than the Duke Blue Devils. Winning is the standard in Durham, and anything less than a National Championship disappoints this program.

Duke has played one of the toughest schedules in college basketball. The Blue Devils have played four top-25 teams. Duke split their top 25 matchups 2-2. The Blue Devils' most impressive win of the season came over the No. 2 Auburn Tigers, handing them their only loss of the year.
