Duke&#8217;s games have heavily leaned under as the Under is 9-5 for the Blue Devils this season thanks to both their wayward outside shooting and tough defense. Duke ranks outside the top 100 teams in the country in 3-point percentage, but on the other end of the court, they&#8217;re in the top 20 in the nation in opposing field goal percentage.<\/p>\n<p>As for Louisville, it has seen the Under hit in three of its last four games overall, as well as three of its last four home games. Also, the recent matchups between these two have been low-scoring affairs as each of their last 12 meetings have seen 153 or fewer points scored. SportsLine&#8217;s advanced model forecasts 158 combined points on Tuesday as the Under hits more than 60% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>The model also says one side of the spread is the better value.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/duke-vs-louisville-odds-prediction-2026-mens-college-basketball-picks-for-jan-6-from-proven-model\/#ttag=01052026_agg_cbssports_picks_basketball_ncaa_model_DukeLouisville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">You can only see that pick at SportsLine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So who wins Duke vs. Louisville, and which side of the spread is the better value? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsline.com\/insiders\/duke-vs-louisville-odds-prediction-2026-mens-college-basketball-picks-for-jan-6-from-proven-model\/#ttag=01052026_agg_cbssports_picks_basketball_ncaa_model_DukeLouisville\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Louisville vs. Duke spread to back, all from the model that has simulated this matchup 10,000 times<\/a>, and find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Duke Blue Devils will visit the Louisville Cardinals on Tuesday&#8217;s college basketball schedule as each squad plays&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3723],"tags":[7,217,691,72081,72082,72083,1984,72084,72085,72086,231,772,1544],"class_list":{"0":"post-520148","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-college-basketball","10":"tag-duke-blue-devils","11":"tag-duke-louisville-odds","12":"tag-duke-louisville-picks","13":"tag-duke-louisville-prediction","14":"tag-louisville-cardinals","15":"tag-louisville-duke-odds","16":"tag-louisville-duke-picks","17":"tag-louisville-duke-prediction","18":"tag-ncaa","19":"tag-ncaa-basketball","20":"tag-ncaab"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115848165684854245","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520148\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
