Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Duke Blue Devils Betting Preview
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish just want to move on from last week. The Irish were seconds away from pulling a major home win out over Ohio State.
Now, they have to bounce back and do so in a hurry. The Duke Blue Devils will not wait for them. Marcus Freeman knows he has a tough task to get the Irish back on track this week.
Fortunately, the Irish have a seasoned quarterback in Sam Hartman. The former Wake Forest star has tossed 14 touchdown passes and more than 1,200 yards in five games. Chris Tyree has been a massive target for him, with 241 of those yards.
If they are not passing the ball, Audric Estime has done damage on the ground. The lead running back has 77 carries for just 600 yards this season. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish schedule sees them at Louisville next week before hosting USC on October 14th.
Duke’s Unbeaten Run Continues
The Duke Blue Devils are one of 27 teams in College Football unbeaten this season. The Blue Devils went on the road and won their first road game against UConn last week.
Looking at their college football players, Duke has been incredible on the defensive side of the ball, as they are allowing just 8.8 points per game. The most they have allowed was the 14 in Week 3 against Northwestern.
On the offensive side of the football, Duke is running the ball all over opponents. The Blue Devils are gaining more than 200 yards per game, which is inside the Top 30 in the country.
Riley Leonard leads the charge as the quarterback, but Jordan Waters has the most rushing yards for Duke, with 258 and seven touchdowns. There is no doubt that the Duke Blue Devils football players are buying into the coaching and the system being put into play.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Duke Blue Devils Betting Prediction
Sam Hartman has seen this Duke defense before. Duke has seen Sam Hartman before. But this is a different Duke team.
This is a very well-coached, talented, aggressive Duke football team. The Blue Devils are at home and underdog. They were that way against Clemson and showed to be the better team.
The Irish will have a little hangover, knowing they should have won last week against Ohio State. Take the Duke Blue Devils to cover this game with an outside chance of winning.
