Duke Football 2022 (NINE & 4, Military Bowl Champions; 5-3 ACC)

[CameronBornAndBred]

Duke opens as an 8 point underdog to Kansas.

That's fair. Kansas has shown they are a worthy opponent to any team, and it's a road game. If the line grows to 10 before kickoff, I won't be surprised.

By the way, a look back at literal yesteryear.

Duke opens as a 13 points favorite over Kansas. Under / Over set at 57.5 points.

The UVA game in Wallace Wade gets a 7:30 kickoff.

Duke will wear all white tomorrow against Kansas. Helmet with the Iron D.

Green family tailgate (or couchgate per Janice) menu is red beans and rice. I picked up Johnsonville Andouille sausage and a pack of chunk country ham to go in the beans along with onion, green bell pepper, celery, garlic and two spicy chili 🌶.

Flora is in charge of the rice.

Great combination.

My Kansas tailgate will feel like an actual tailgate, just without all the cool company, since I'll be camped out next to my smoker cooking for next weekend.
It's ten 'til midnight, and the brisket just went on.

I'm very proud of the way our team played today. I liked lots more of what I saw than what I didn't like.
Not a bad loss.

Updated Sagarin ratings list Duke at 68. Our next two opponents:

Virginia - 75
Georgia Tech - 109

It is vital we start ACC play strong.

That's only an 8 point drop for us, seems fair.

Our 4-1 Blue Devils move up to 62 in the updated Sagarin ratings. We remain ahead of three future opponents:

Georgia Tech - 89
Boston College - 104
Virginia Tech - 108

8PM kick for the cheaters.

8PM kick for the cheaters.

Hotel reservation already made. Unbelievable, fourth straight night home game.

Well, lots of gigantic IFs in play, but the way Duke is playing, and the teams in front of us are playing, this game could have implications for the lead in the Coastal.

But, as stated, gigantic IF factor. All I really care about is hearing the Victory Bell at midnight, knowing it has been painted the correct shade of blue.

Prediction: Duke 33, Georgia Tech 14

[CameronBornAndBred]

Poor coaching and poor execution cost us that game. While the end was amazing, it's hard to win by only playing 5 minutes of decent football.

Duke falls to 69 in the updated Sagarin ratings and Vegas odds open with Duke being a 6.5 points underdog.

A growing injury list didn't help either but your points are well taken.

[Bob Green]

Prediction: Duke 34, Carolina 31

Carolina plays sloppy with three or more turnovers while Duke plays a clean game.

Pour me a double of what Bob's sipping!!

[CameronBornAndBred]

I'm not making a prediction, I just really want us to win. The chances of them being ranked if they beat us is good, and that irritates the shit out of me.

GTHC!!

Our first losing streak of the Elko Era. Rats.
