What the data says

Duke don't have a strong public-vs-money pattern this season. Across the 7 games we've tracked, the average bet percentage on Duke is 44.6% and the average money percentage is 43.9%. Those are middle-of-the-pack numbers — bettors are split, dollars follow the bet count, and the line generally reflects the matchup rather than the public lean.

With 7 games on the board, the data is starting to mean something — and what it means is that Duke aren't a high-conviction fade or follow play. There's no consistent edge in either direction.

Watch the per-game splits below. Even balanced teams have individual games with meaningful divergence — that's where the daily roundups come in. See our methodology →.

Frequently asked questions

What is the record for fading Duke when the public is on them?

0-2 ATS this season — the mirror of their public-favorite record, because the fade covers exactly when the public side doesn't. It's shown as a record rather than a recommendation; a handful of games is not a pattern.

Where does this college football team betting data come from?

From publicly reported sportsbook handle, captured on a sub-hourly cadence for every FBS game from the moment a line is posted. The team figures use each game's closing snapshot — the last read before kickoff — so every number reflects what a bettor could actually have known.

Why do the games tracked not match the Duke schedule?

A game counts only when it has a final score, a closing spread and a published split. An FCS opponent the source never priced, or a game whose splits were not captured before kickoff, is left out rather than guessed at.

How do Duke do against the spread when they're a public favorite?

When 60% or more of spread tickets land on Duke, they're 2-0 ATS this season. Books shade college lines toward the side they know the public wants, and on a board full of mismatches that shade is often the whole story.

What is the Duke ATS record this season?

Duke are 5-2 against the spread in the games where we have a closing split. That's the number that matters for a bettor — a team can win every Saturday by three touchdowns and still lose money for the people laying four.

What is a public favorite? A public favorite is the side drawing 60% or more of the betting tickets on a given game. When the money percentage trails the bet percentage on that side, it's a signal that smaller, casual bets are stacking up there — and the larger bets are on the other side. See our methodology →.
