#13 Notre Dame vs #17 Duke prediction thread

[scubastevefl]

Can ND manage last weeks hangover against The Dukies? I’d say ND is a bit slugish after that hard loss. Dukes comes in hyped up, at home, at night already having toppled Clemson earlier this year.

Sam Hartman leads a late 4th quarter drive with Mitchell Evans to recapture the lead and the D (with 11 defenders this time) hangs on.

ND 31
Duke 28

ND wins. in control all the way.

Notre Dame needs this game more than Duke does.
ND 34
Duke 24

 

[Jersey Domer]

Elko’s defense will be prepared but this will have to be a statement game if we are going to be taken seriously. There’s always a chance of a let down but I think the team will rise to the challenge.

28-17 Irish.

hey another J Domer!, great!

Sam Hartman throws not one, but two, interceptions, including one in or near the Duke end zone, and Spencer Shrader misses another mid-range FG try, but ND's defense forces a couple turnovers of its own,. and ND survives 24-21 as posters on game thread lose their collective sh*t.

ND 45. Duke. 10.

Is Duke actually good? Starting 4-0 is not really all that telling. If they were 9-0, then it might be like, oh shit, these guys look pretty good. But they could easily, easily, end up going 6-6 or 7-5, after a fast start against shitty non-con competition. I guess they did beat Clemson, though perhaps that's not even all that impressive anymore.

I'll go 31-22. Notre Dame, of course....

Duke is ranked 22nd in F+ this season so their peripherals as a team support the idea of them being a legit top 25 ranked team. But if ND has a good team this year, they should be able to win convincingly.

Duke is ranked 17th and 16th in the polls that matter. F+ is a very flawed system and shouldn't be used for rankings.

What injuries are you hearing about ?

 

[hoopsstar12]

I was predicting 2 to 3 touchdown win but we have 3 WR out.

 

[christophero]

If we can run the ball effectively we should win. If not it could be a close one. I predict a 10 point win.

 

[IrishBeer]

Without our two best receivers, I change my prediction. Duke 24. ND 20.

 

[NDinNJ]

With WR out, I change my prediction
ND - 24
Duke - 6

 

[deadirishpoet]

3 to 4 WR for the Irish

 

[christophero]

My understanding is that safety and cornerback is a strength for Duke. Should be interesting. Just get out with a W.
