Duke -7.5 over Cuse…..

[Cuse On 3]

I’m rooting for Rickie astronomically hard and want him to be serviceable to great against Duke. It will be a knife in the heart if he doesn’t grow how I think he will.

 

[FloridaCuse]

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

A few places, including Cesears, are now at Duke -6. ESPN now is -6.5.

 

[DPCuse]

Blown away we are almost a TD dog at home. Does not bode well for us. Although last week’s spread against Clemson wasn’t exactly “spot on.”

 

[OrangeTarheel]

How many times did Fran beat the spread last season? 6?

 

[TheHaze315]

Vegas either has literally zero faith in Rickie Collins or are overcompensating a classic let down spot after a big win. We get a bad defense in a “sold out” dome with a boatload of momentum and Duke is -6.5… Very odd.

 

[Reyes39]

Duke is 1-3 ATS. Small sample size and Vegas is right a lot more than they're wrong, but sometimes they can't even get a read on some teams in a given year.

That said, I fully expect Cuse to be a popular square dog this week...

Yup. 6-6.

 

[DocFlanders]

I think we win this, and by 10 or more

Is it what Vegas is saying or what bettors are doing in affecting the spread? They may look at SU as a compete unknown. Which hopefully is a big mistake. No faith. No belief without evidence.

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).

Such a sad stat. So glad we are in a new era.

I wish I could bet here in Texas

True, and in this defensive situation, short completions are actually PREFERABLE to incompletions. You let them catch short passes that take 20 seconds.

We played it correctly

Similarly, there was a point in the 4th quarter where Collins was sacked for a small loss and I posted in the game thread "A sack is better than an incompletion right now." If he had thrown it away, we gain 4 yards, but lose the 30 seconds running off the clock when Clemson had very little time left to make their comeback.

How many times did Fran beat the spread last season? 6?

6-7 ATS in 2024

5-2 as an underdog, winning 4 SU

1-1 ATS this year (W Clemson, L Tennessee)

I think we covered the final UCONN line too

 

[UnknownOrange]

I think we covered the final UCONN line too

we pushed -7 (depends on the book of course)

1-1 ats I meant as underdogs

2-1-1 ATS in 2024 (assuming -7 for Uconn)

Syracuse going from -9.5 to -6.5 doesn't make this list.

Got SU -6.5 and then live ML. Winning both of those was a miracle.

The last two quotes were from the UConn spread thread. Looks like we covered. Count it!

[FloridaCuse]

All sites are now at Duke -5.5.

 

[Blanko97]

So where do we think darian mensah ends up next year? FSU?

NO love for Cuse. Especially from Roddy Jones.

I truly will never understand the Georgia tech love.

Look at their schedule. And they are a good team.

Roddy is a dope.

Look at their schedule. And they are a good team.

They've been mediocre the last 15 years. They are sitting in the same tier as Syracuse, NC State, Pittsburgh but often mentioned in higher esteem.

Well beat them and Haynes King again this year, and they'll continue to be a disappointment.
