Duke vs Clemson Prediction
I’m not excited to back Duke, as this team is poorly coached and has some questionable performances, but Clemson in the favorite role is nuts. Clemson has been one of the biggest underachievers in college football. Clemson can’t run the ball, doesn’t finish drives, and you can pass on this defense. Duke is one of the best passing offenses in the country, so there should be some success there. Clemson is the more talented team and should be favored at home, but I’m not laying points with this group regardless. It’s Duke and the points or pass for me.
