Last Game Northwestern trailed 7-17 to Nevada before Junior QB Clayton Thorson took over the game finishing with 352 yards passing on 28/38 passing. Most analysts grade these two programs as mirror images since they recruit many of the same players. Last season during this meeting Daniel Jones was 27-48, 279, and 1 INT. Thorson was 18-39, 320, 3 TD's and 2 INT. T.J. Rahming had 8 receptions for 70 yards, while Jela Duncan had 53 yards on 11 carries and 1 TD.

Northwestern is a -3 1/2 favorite.
 
Those in the know have spoken. Sounds like football will be bad again 5 days from now.
 
I don't think Duke football is at the point of pulling betting lines down...If we beat NW and Baylor, then maybe
 
I don't read much into Vegas lines this early into the season. I believe that you'll see a different Duke team against NW this Saturday. Duke is at full strength which is something they haven't been in able to meet a challenge like a B1G foe before. It will be a struggle at times against a pretty good NW team. How THIS Duke team faces that challenge will most certainly project how they approach THIS season.
 
This was a pick 'em on Sagarin Predictor. Duke was 44th, Northwestern 35th. I would expect Duke to jump into the top 30 after this.
