Pitt vs. Duke Saturday with a 12:20 Kick Off from Wallace Wade. Duke opens with a -7.5 point favorite that quickly moved to a -8 when the dust settled.
Duke has dropped three straight to Miami, Virginia, and Florida State. Pitt has two wins against Youngstown State and Rice while dropping 5 of their last 6 games against Penn State, Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, and NC State.
Both programs are in need of a win. Pitt lost it's starting QB for the season, Max Browne, against Syracuse and are still trying to find it's offense. Pitt ranks 101st in PPG (23.3). They rank 98th in Points Allowed (31.4). They rank 60th in Passing Yards per game (240.4), and 114th in rushing yards per game (113.7).
Duke just hasn't had any consistency offensively the past three weeks. Duke QB Daniel Jones has looked uncomfortable with timing, protection, and a lack of catching ability by his receivers. Duke ranks 70th in PPG (28.4), they rank 27th in Points Allowed (19.6), 79th in Passing Yards (209.4), and 42nd in rushing yards per game (190.4).
The opportunity is there for both teams it seems to break the comedy of errors that malign these teams. This is a must win for both teams with any wishes for post season play. We shall see if the Blue Devils can bounce back.
Prediction: Duke 28- Pitt 21
Let's Go Duke!
