This game will come down to the Hurricanes’ pass defense against the Blue Devils’ aerial attack. Can they make enough plays on the back end and eliminate the big play? The Blue Devils are stout against the run and can make the Hurricanes one-dimensional. Look for them to remember what happened the last time the ‘Canes were in Durham and do a better job of closing out this game.

I'm playing the Hurricanes on the money line Friday night, as they're winning 72 percent of my simulations. Look for Miami to beat Duke for the 11th time in the past 12 meetings.
