College Football Odds
Notre Dame -20.5
Total: 60.5 points
Notre Dame’s national championship aspirations have come to a close. After opening the season highly ranked, the Irish have struggled to a 1-2 start with losses to Texas and Michigan State. Yet now because Notre Dame refuses to get into a conference, they still have a ton of tough games on the schedule to try and get the season back on track.
This is not one of those games. Duke is certainly improved the past few seasons, but they’re catching three touchdowns in this one for a reason. The Blue Devils are coming off two-straight losses where the opponent scored only 24 points. Both Wake Forest and Northwestern won recently against Duke, the Blue Devils scored just 27 combined points in those defeats.
DeShone Kizer has been pretty strong this season. He’s pitched it for nine touchdowns and better than 700 yards through the air this season as the Fighting Irish have been able to put up points.
The problem for Notre Dame has been the defense, which has surrendered 32 points per game on average this year. With Duke’s problems on offense, the Fighting Irish defense will be looking to get back on track here and play a game closer to the Nevada win than the losses to Texas and Michigan State.
