Virginia + 3.5
Obvious let down game for the Blue Devils and there have been a few of them this year. Most noticeable (one that I have seen) the App.St. game after they took Tenn. into OT...they covered the 21.5 point spread the next week vs Old Dom. Long story,short....1st letdown game I will be betting this season. There is a lot to like about this one! In a David vs Goliath game,the Blue Devils were down 14-0,scored 21 unanswered points and fell behind 35-28 with about 7:30 left in the game.Duke tied the game with a 3 play,75 yard drive in 1 min!! And won the game on a 19 yard field goal,with 1:24 left in game,by AJ Reed,his FIRST College attempt!! Oh, did I mention this game was played in South Bend ? !! ND coach Kelly was so pissed he said " nobody's job is safe,except for their long snapper". Duke has gotten better over the last few years,but to win in South Bend,is nothing short of astonishing and incredible!! Think of it this way.....how many money line parlays were lost due to this game?? IMO,the Blue Devils kids are emotionally and physically,exhausted and drained!!!!! Yea,they may have have a little left in the tank,but as the Virginia game gets into the 3rd and 4th qr......forget about it!!! Yes this UVA team is bad,before the season started,some thought they would be lucky to win 2-3 games. For Duke this win in South Bend,is better than any FBS bowl game they may go to and win. With Louisville going to : Death Valley and playing Clemson this Sat. The Cards will be battered and bruised,playing a very physical Tiger team. In 2 weeks(OCT. 14 th ) Duke will travel to KY. to play the Cards........would not be out of the realm of possibility,that some players on Duke peaking ahead to that game!!!.....I know,they have to play Army next week,but do not forget......kids will be kids. UVA is playing a lot better,esp. on offense. Last week vs C.Mich. UVA QB Benkert threw for 5 TD'S and a school record 421 passing yards!! Oh,by the way,last week Duke lost their BEST player DeVon Edwards,who is a defensive back!!!!! This is also an important game for the HOOS,it's winnable and The University of Virginia has lost 17 straight road games! Also there is a cloud hanging over the Duke Football Program, because Duke Head Coach Cutcliffe name has been thrown into the hat for the LSU Head Coaching position !!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............VIRGINIA +3.5....5 UNITS..........................GL
