Duke -7.5 over Cuse…..

[690West]

Caesar’s at -5 now as well

 

[Cuse On 3]

They must really not think much of Rickie

I mean… I like Rickie but our offense will absolutely struggle next week, which isn’t good considering Duke has a good offense. Rickie needs reps. It’s not gonna happen in one game, unfortunately

So typical…..

Better to have his debut in front of a raucous home crowd than a road game.

If the hope was to get $ to flow to Cuse…

 

[FloridaCuse]

Down to 5 at Circa

Circa now at -4

 

[CuseBlood44]

Hopefully it gets down to 3 or 3.5 by kick which is what I figured it would be, with Angeli I think we would’ve been favored by a FG. Should be a good one but would’ve felt a lot more confident with Steve

duke is a bigger fav on the road vs Syr than top 10 FSU is vs Virgnia

though the line is down to like 5.5 in some places

yeah me thinks Vegas lacks belief in Tricky Rickie

In most places now.

 

[Rufus_13th]

Opened at +6.5 for draftkings in NJ around Noon. Down to +5.5.

+180 ML. Eating that up.

One thing that surprised me. Obviously Tennessee is a top offensive team. Sixth in the nation in yards per game. We held them to sixty yards less than their average.

But that UConn is also top ten at number ten. They average 494 yards per game (we held them to 80 yards below their average).

Beating Duke will come down to limiting their explosive plays. I expect a healthy focus on runs from our O and ball control on our end.

 

[FloridaCuse]

The consensus is moving toward -4.5, which is where ESPN & DK now have it. A few still at -5 or -5.5.

 

[Ozone!]

Remember we have Fran Brown!

 

[djorange1989]

More bulletin board material for Fran. Sounds good to me, we are going to be underdogs in the rest of our road games and maybe the Pitt game, plus this one bring it on, Vegas

Steve Angeli is the master of the quick kick. Now we need someone to step up for the dick kick.

 

[CuseMan4]

We are a hard team to figure out so far so not surprised by the line. We almost lose to UConn. Kick the hell out of Colgate (as we should), then kick Clemsom’s butt…in Clemson. And now we are without the starting QB. I can see why Vegas is confused lol

Not to mention Duke isn’t exactly the most consistent team this year either. It’s really just a guessing game with these two teams for Saturday. I like our odds with how the defense has played lately and having Nixon as our OC. Fran will have the kids ready and should be a packed Dome. I like our chances

 

[Eric15]

If we beat Duke on Saturday, it will be only the 2nd time in 13 seasons in the ACC that we have started 2-0 in conference. The only other time was 2022 when we started 3-0 (Louisville, Virginia, NC State).

 

[FloridaCuse]

The consensus is moving toward -4.5, which is where ESPN & DK now have it. A few still at -5 or -5.5.

The consensus has now gone back up to -5.5 including DK & FD. Though ESPN is still at -4.5.

 

[AlaskaSU]

Looking at espn stats, the two teams are statistically very similar on offense and defense. Steve's absence could make a difference. On the other hand, Duke was gifted 4 turnovers.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Should Duke be -7.5 over anyone ?

 

[dollarbill44]

I like it. Keep making us dogs every week. It's crazy how we are so disrespected every year, regardless of performance.

Pitt is overrated and Louisville will easily beat them IMO, and we should be favored when we play them if Collins is serviceable, but of course that will have no effect on how we play against them!

 

[PhatOrange]

Spread right now is 5.5. No doubt because of Collins. If Angeli is the QB CUSE favored.

 

[721Comstock]

Yes, this.

It's the uncertainty around Collins that's making this line what it is.

If we had Angeli (and at close to 100%) no doubt Cuse is favored by at least a FG.
... which would be FREE MONEY with how bad the Dook passing D is.

Rickie purportedly has a big arm, and good touch on deep throws.
Would love to see us "Rob Moore vs. Ped State" Dook on the very first O play, where we go play-action to Willis, then Rickie airs it out to one of: Gill, JRS, Cook.

Even if it doesn't connect, it tells the Blew Devils that they have to defend the entire field.
We're not just gonna run it and try to dink and dunk just because it's a new QB1 in there this week.
