If there's ever a year for Cut to finally beat a top 10 team, this is it.

Vegas over/under should be right on 6 wins for the regular season. Could be 5.5, but I don't think that would be a good line. I guess Jones could get hurt and miss some games, which would all be losses.

Early predictions:
Army - W
@ Northwestern - L
@ Baylor - L
NCCU - W
VaTech - L
@ GaTech - W
UVA - W
@ Pitt - W
@ Miami - L
UNC - W
@ Clemson - L
Wake Forest - W
7-5 with a low tier bowl which should be a W. Could see switching the Baylor and Pitt results.

Having two P5 non-conference opponents in the same season is stupid for Duke (unless it's a requirement of the ACC)
