Betting Trends for vs
The Syracuse Orange have been a big disappointment this season as their only wins have come against Holy Cross, Western Michigan, and Liberty. Duke has been in a funk on the offensive side of the ball as of recent as they haven’t eclipsed 17 points in their last 3 games, but I expect them to get their groove back, similar to the beginning of the season where they scored 40 points 4 different times. The Syracuse Orange have been awful on both sides of the ball this season as they rank 98th in points scored and 90th in points allowed. Duke should try and resemble Boston College’s success on the ground as they ran for 496 yards on the Orange defense, and they should have no problem winning this game at home. Final Score Prediction, Duke Blue Devils win and cover ATS 38-24.
