Duke-Wake Forest prediction thread

[rome8180]

Getting this one up early because in my current apathy I will likely forget it to do it later in the week.

For the ND game, I am seriously considering "Duke wins" as the only option other than the ND ranges.

 

[rome8180]

Thain, I will award you points for your choice if none of us make a correct prediction.

 

[DukeNukem05]

Haha. That's an excellent choice this year.

I'm going full homer. Gotta play the roller coaster of predictions.

 

[TS9]

I hate this game

After Monday night I angrily swore to myself never to pick Duke again.

That promise lasted 0 games.

Fandom is a helluva drug.

Duke is favored by 3.5-4.5 points at Wake Forest.

I don't think the people betting on these games have watched Duke play this season.

 

[rome8180]

Based on Kenpom in-conference numbers, Duke is playing at roughly the level of UNC-Asheville in recent weeks. I don't think UNCA would be favored by 4 points on the road at #35 Wake Forest.

Also, Wake has a better offense than we do. Just thought I'd point that out. I am sure our stout defense and composure in hostile environments will save the day though.

Well, we have 22 predictionss here, and 14 of them favor Duke and I imagine those 14 have seen Duke play recently. We are all just hopeless, stupid homers.

 

[DukeNukem05]

And Thain has a legitimate chance.

I think we're going to get blown out.

I think we're going to get blown out.

The closer we get to game time, the more I feel you made a correct pick.

 

[TS9]

Yeah a sense of foreboding has really set in. Thankful I'm on the road today so I have no choice but to not watch.

If we lose, Bid Watch 2017 hits at least DEFCON 3, assuming the NCAA Tournament is something we even want this team to be a part of.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

This will be the first game I miss by choice in 16 years of being a fan.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Yep, that's where I am. I think several of us are.

 

[Thain]

And Thain has a legitimate chance.

I completely expect to get points.

My wife asked if I had anything to do at 3:00 today. I said no.

:(

 

[aiw]

Amile came off the bus on a boot. I guess we'll see if that means anything. He's been in a boot when not playing since he's been back.

 

[rome8180]

I have to work during the game. I am thankful for that.

 

[deepdarkblue]

I think I'll refill my bird feeders, then watch Riverdale, see if it sucks or not.

I actually think we see a semi-competent performance today with Kennard going for 25+. Unfortunately any positives will be completely undone on Monday.
