Every week the Blue Zone gives you our can't lose prop bets for the upcoming football game:
Duke -10.5 vs Charlotte
This one is an easy one. On one hand, you have a Blue Devil team that needs a win against its sole non conference opponent of the year to not get laughed out of Wallace Wade, and on the other you have a team that has not faced ACC talent like Duke all year long. While the offense has looked anything but strong, Chase Brice will go to work Saturday night, and have no trouble helping the Blue Devils to a convincing win.
Pick: Duke -10.5
Over/Under 55 points
I have never once bet the under, and I don’t plan to start now. Duke should put up some serious points against this Charlotte team, and should build up a big enough early lead to put the game on cruise control heading into the fourth quarter. Duke can’t hit the over by itself, but the defense should be playing unburdened enough for Charlotte to get a couple of consolation scores late in the game and hit the over.
Pick: Over 55 points
Winning Margin
It’s what you’ve all been waiting for: the can’t lose, mortal lock, put the house on it play of the day. The winning margin is always a risky choice, with seasoned bettors who read this blog seeing ghosts of backdoor covers on final plays and having meaningless field goals dance across their vision as we speak. However— I’ve told you Duke will cover, but I’ve also told you the defense will be playing relaxed enough for Charlotte to make up a little bit of ground in the final fifteen of play. So take this last one to the bank, and watch the free money roll in.
Pick: Duke by 13-18 points, +425
