Quietly, the Duke Blue Devils have only lost to Miami, SMU and Georgia Tech this season. Everyone else on their schedule they've been able to take care of rather soundly. This is a very good team that does a great job of excelling on both sides of the ball against teams they're better than or equal to. This is one of those games.

Home edge is just a myth to Wake Forest, which hasn't covered a spread (0-7-1) in its last eight games at Winston-Salem. The Deacs have endured a steep descent the past two seasons since QB Sam Hartman, the master of Dave Clawson's "slow-mesh" offense, departed. Much-traveled portal add Hank Bachmeier hasn't been the answer as his career continues to trend downward since his frosh season at Boise. Duke is bowl-bound and 6-1-1 vs. the number its last eight this season, so a vote for competence on Tobacco Road. Play Duke
