Duke Volleyball is now 10-10 on the season and 5-5 in the ACC, and will look to keep their momentum going and make a push up the standings for the remainder of the season with all conference games remaining. Thomas Sirk has thrown for 1,530 yards and 11 touchdowns to lead the offense while also rushing for 434 yards and two scores. The Canes’ goal is to average 4.0 yards a carry against the Blue Devils, a defense with theory of we’ll bend, but we’re not going to break. “I have to do a good job getting the ball to the receivers and the running backs and get the ball out quick”. Wide Receiver Max McCaffrey caught 6 passes for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns. Miami’s only loss in Durham, North Carolina, came in its last visit in 2013…. A 58-0 loss to Clemson shocked Miami and even got their coach fired. Quarterback Brad Kaaya went 6/10 for just 51 yards no touchdowns and 1 interception. The team may have to rely on back Joseph Yearby, who has rushed for 559 yards and five touchdowns. The over/under total for the game has been set at 48 points.

The Miami Hurricanes are 4-9 against the spread vs. a team with a winning record.

Since 2013, Duke is 23-4 in their last 27 regular season games and 14-3 against the ACC. Duke is 10-4-1 against the spread in their last 15 home games.

Since Miami fired their coach there is no line yet, but i think Duke will win this game. Larry Scott takes over as interim coach.
