Duke Blue Devils vs Arkansas Razorbacks Betting Preview
Duke enters Thanksgiving night at 7-0 with wins over Texas and Kansas already on the résumé. Neutral-site games have become the constant so far, and the Blue Devils embrace the environment. Cameron Boozer continues to lead the team at more than 21 points per game, and Duke leans on its length, pace and versatility to create mismatches.

Arkansas arrives at 5-1 after responding to earlier close calls with a blowout of Jackson State. John Calipari has pushed his team for toughness, and the Razorbacks have shown more edge around the rim in recent outings. Meleek Thomas and Darius Acuff Jr. lead a young backcourt that plays downhill, and their ability to attack spacing actions gives Arkansas a real scoring engine.
Both teams feature freshman stars, both push tempo, and both can score in bunches. The matchup arrives at a neutral court in Chicago, where Duke coach Jon Scheyer returns to his hometown.

Matchup Breakdown
Duke wins with spacing, shot quality and intelligent size. Boozer draws doubles that open clean looks, and Patrick Ngongba II has been nearly automatic around the rim, hitting 15 of his last 16 shots. Maliq Brown and the frontcourt pair well defensively, where Duke emphasizes discipline and less reaching.
Arkansas must match Duke’s physicality on the glass and use their attacks in transition. They average 91 points per game and shoot nearly 80 percent at the free-throw line. Malique Ewin and Karter Knox give the Razorbacks interior scoring and rebounding leverage, but defensive rotations will determine whether they stay within range.
