Duke vs. Houston odds: Current line, win probability, final score prediction, how to watch NCAA Tournament

Not every story ends with a Cinderella at the ball. On April 5, 1-seed Duke and 1-seed Houston will square off in the Final Four inside the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Duke punched its ticket to the Final Four with a stunning 85-65 blowout win over Alabama. All eyes are on freshman Cooper Flagg, who is a frontrunner for National Player of the Year and is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

Alas, the Blue Devils aren’t the only ones with elite talent. Houston looked dominant against the Volunteers on Sunday, holding Tennessee to a mere 15 points in the first half. In turn, FanDuel published the odds for Duke-Houston before the buzzer even sounded in the Cougars’ Elite Eight showdown.
