Duke -7.5 over Cuse…..

[Archbold44]

100%. Gotta win this one to continue momentum for the program

A season full of must wins so far.

Duke coach Manny Diaz said at his presser this week (to paraphrase) -- Syracuse lost its QB from last year (to the NFL) when they were the No. 1 passing team in the country and they only went down to being No. 4. They just lost their QB as No. 4 and I don't expect them to lose a step. [seen on ACC PM]

Rickie says: same offenese, same playbook.

A few sites, including Cesear's, have gone down to Duke -5. ESPN, DK, FD still at -5.5.

I hope we see the aggressive D and we get home a few times. But am more worried we give up a home run run play. Duke did not run well vs Ill or NC st except for that one 66 yd run.

Quick Google search...GT has 7 wins vs. ranked teams as an underdog since Key took over. No other team in the country has more than 5. No ACC team has more than 3. They took Georgia to 8 OTs last season before losing or they would have had an 8th. During that span, GT is 16-6 ATS as dogs, including 12 straight up wins. That's the most wins as a dog of any Power 4 team in the last 3 years.

Maybe they are overrated, but there are impressive performances behind the hype.

I don't know. Looks like the Babers effect to me. Start hot and then fizzle out. Granted the schedule for them was much tougher with Georgia and ND later in season last 2 years.

2022: 2-4 to close the season
2023: 3-3 to close season
2024: 3-3 to close season
2025: TBD

I think we beat Duke by 10 or more - with that said - we should have lost to UCONN at home - crowd will be vastly different than UCONN for Duke game

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.

southern bias.
