Game 2
MIAMI (3 - 3) at DUKE (3 - 2)
Week 8 Saturday, 10/18/2008 3:30 PM
The Duke Blue Devils (3-2, 1-1 ACC) will return to action following a bye week on Saturday when they host Miami (3-3, 0-2 ACC) for homecoming in Wallace Wade Stadium. Duke’s last game was a 27-0 loss at Georgia Tech on Oct. 4 while the Hurricanes are coming off a 20-14 win over Central Florida last weekend. The line here opened at Miami -6, but was quickly brought down to -3. I still think the linesmakers just have it set there because of public perception, and they know they can get better action. With the performances of these two teams YTD, the line should be a Pk or Duke as a small fav.

All in all, this should shape up to be an entertaing and great game to watch, but I see the Blue Devils covering the spread, and possibly getting the outright win.
I am Taking DUKE BLUE DEVILS +3.5 (4 Units) :toast:
