Carrier Dome

The Duke Blue Devils will be looking to extend their current three-game winning streak SU and ATS when they take on the Orange at Syracuse's Carrier Dome. The 7-1 Dukies posted their second win as road dogs in their last three outings last weekend, topping Pittsburgh 51-48 in a Week 10 shootout settled in double overtime. The Blue Devils remain atop the ACC Coastal, 3-1 SU in conference play, and are 6-1 SU and ATS in their last seven road contests against conference opponents.

The 3-6 Syracuse Orange will be looking for answers after losing last weekend, 24-17 at home to NC State as 2.5-point favorites. The loss was Cuse's sixth SU in their last seven. However, the Orange have been a strong bet in the last month, posting solid ATS wins over conference rivals Florida State, Wake Forest and Clemson to improve to 3-2 ATS, 1-4 SU in conference play.
