Biggest play of the year NC State-Duke

[lowell]

I think the line is too damn high.
State plus 10 -130 is my biggest play this year.
Duke is bowl eligible and had week off.
State just played emotional game vs UNC.
I still think the line is too damn high.

Besides the line being too high, why do you like State, Lowell?

They are bad!! I mean, really bad. UNC isn't much better and Duke won games on the road that no one on earth would have thought they'd win, at UVA and at Va Tech, both better defensive clubs than State has and they were beaten convincingly by the Blue Devils!!

If you like that game that much, wait for the line to go up some more!! Just an opinion from me.

GL with it!!

Duke will hopefully win but in this rivalry the underdog usually covers. I have been going to Duke games since early 1960's and I cannot remember when they were favored by this many points versus State or UNC.
Of course Spurrier did coach them to 40-0 victory over UNC.
State rushed for 200 yds yesterday and if Mitchell keeps pounding the Duke D we should see a 24-21 type game.

I got ya!! Long history for you there then. Got a line of Duke -9, guessing total will come up around 47 1/2 to 51!

state surely off this year, but duke has no business giving the pack nine points, especially with mitchell back under center. and im almost as surprised with carolina laying 14- vs the cavs. imo way too much in another big rivalry game.

I also played the Cavs. They usually play UNC a tough game.
Duke gave up 58 Pts to Pitt and beat Troy by 7 Pts.
Duke is bowl bound but hard to see them running away with this game. Mitchell will wear down the defense and rush for 135 yds. As a Duke fan I just want a win. 9 or 10 points is too damn high.
Wallace Wade will have about 20k fans and many will be wearing red.

I have to agree with you guys that both those lines look juicy for the dogs. Nice to see some locals weigh in. :toast:

 

[JT 314]

Agree with the play but don't understand logic of buying to 10 -130?? If you like the play that much why would you ever do that?? Hope its a winner!!

Never said I was good at this endeavor. I actually took it again at 9.5 buying it to 10. No logic except I would be pissed if Duke scored at the end to make it a 31-21 game. Will take some NCSU money when it comes out.

Lowell, or anyone else who knows - will Mitchell start at QB today for the Pack?


thanks - burns

I actually think Duke covers. And no way would I take a team where Duke is giving double digit points. Either Duke or no play for me....small play on Duke is what I took.

State is terrible and Duke is much improved. As for UNC, I'd say very average. They got hosed against a down Ga Tech team and came oh so close against Miami. They aren't great by any means but better than most think. Looking forward to Duke/UNC.

I think Duke wins by 21 today...

I would think Mitchell will be the QB but I really do not know.
I see I was wrong on UVA.
The Car Heels came to play today.

 

[TouchdownJesus]

Car Heels?? Come on man lol

I teased them but no way was I gonna give 13, even to Virginia...they do look good at times though. I like Renner and hate that he got hurt but its prob good that this kid is getting much needed experience...

I do agree with you that the Duke/State line is high...but that said, just looks like its way too easy to take State +10 against Duke. I put a lot on the Over (56) and a little o Duke -10....I did tease Duke to a pick (w/ Carolina and LSU) so..........Let's Go Duke! lol

Good luck lowell....sort of
