Duke Prediction?

[rationalcane]

My predictions seem to bear little resemblance to reality.

Factors might be can Diaz/Duke stop the run? If so, can Ward snap out of this little mini-funk? Of course, how does the UM secondary show up? Can UM finally start creating meaningful turnovers which can change the direction of a game? Any chance for a special teams breakout?

That said, no reason UM shouldn’t win by 17-20 points. Unless they put in Cooper Flagg at QB.

I already gave my thoughts in another thread:

The line seems a little shocking but it makes some sense. It’s expecting Duke to score in the 20s and Miami to score in the 40s.

Besides Middle Tennessee (45), Duke has never scored higher than 26/27, and a couple of those were in OT. Any defense with a pulse should be able to contain them.

On the flipside, Miami’s 36 points against FSU last week was a season low, with perhaps Cam Ward’s worst performance of the year. Even then we won by 22, even after a garbage time TD.

So I’ll just pick some numbers to add on. 45 - 20

We covered the spread.

It was ugly. Duke scored more than they should have, and we got 21 points off 2 turnovers. They weren’t automatic scores but they put us back on offense. This game is a legit struggle all the way through without those.
