Duke is a 10.5-point favorite against the visiting 49ers in Saturday's contest.
Here are our beats' takes on the Blue Devils’ matchup with Charlotte, which pits Duke as a 10-point favorite.
Costly turnovers from a struggling offense and the team’s inability to push the momentum through the game have led to Duke’s continuing narrative since the start of the season.
If Duke can lean into their strong backfield here, they could very well put on the repeat performance that the Blue Devil faithful so desperately desire.
Duke has the 49ers outmatched in talent, but it is going to take execution to beat a fundamentally-sound Charlotte team this weekend.
The Tennessee native has seen game action this year and while Cutcliffe speaks highly of him, this is his first time in the starting role.
A week after finally winning their first game of the season, the Giants surrendered a 21-10 lead they held well into the final quarter and Jones fumbled the ball for the fifth time this season with only 40 seconds left down by a point.
With Duke ready to restart the action after a bye week, let's review the season up to this point.
The injury bug bit the Blue Devils once again.
Gilbert only played in two games this season.
Our beat writers break down the Blue Devils’ performance so far and make some predictions for the rest of the campaign.
Garner has had two years under the guidance of Duke athletic trainers and has come back fully healthy with a point to prove. Just halfway through the season, he has already played in more games than any other year and with that consistent field time, he has been able to show off just how good he can be.
After roughly three months in the Orlando bubble, the NBA has begun the offseason process.
When some begin to argue that Cutcliffe may not be equipped to lead his team out of this slump, they are lacking a bit of perspective on the state of Duke football before and after Cutcliffe’s arrival.
Although there were a few COVID-19 scares early in the week, for the first time since Week 3, all scheduled games were played.
The inability of the Blue Devils to punch it in was a microcosm of everything that went wrong Saturday against the Wolfpack.
Facing off against an N.C. State offense averaging over 34 points per contest, Duke was stout for most of the game. However, without much time to rest, the Wolfpack found a groove that was able to carry them to their first victory in the series since 2008.
Despite each offense showing signs of getting into a rhythm at various points, both defensive lines were able to weather the storm and bring pressure on a relatively consistent basis.
Here are our beats' takes on the Blue Devils’ road matchup at N.C. State, which pits the Wolfpack as a five-point favorite.
Duke enters Saturday's in-state showdown as a 4.5-point underdog.
