NC State has had a rough time against Duke lately, and I’m not so sure that’s going to change this week. The Pack’s a 4.5-point underdog to the Blue Devils in Vegas, while SP+ has Duke by six. Duke is coming off a 47-2 win over Boston College, which is a very funny final score, if you ask me.
Duke for the most part has been quite good on the defensive side this season and has yet to allow more than 28 points in a game. That helps explain how Duke is 6-2 despite losing Darian Mensah and having to scramble for a starting quarterback at the tail end of the portal window.
