*Odds as of Friday morning

Tonight, my wife and I have been given the proverbial parenting golden ticket — a night out to ourselves without worrying about charged iPads, children's menus and the diseases that lie on the floor beneath our table while our daughter dives down to pick up her eighth dropped crayon.

So, how do we plan on spending this precious gift on Friday? With beverages and sweating college basketball bets, of course!

With a delightful evening slate upon us, I cranked up Action Network's tools to check out the latest college basketball odds while also identifying the smartest best to make on Friday evening.

And Duke vs. Miami is where this journey led me.
