The Duke Blue Devils have had an extra week to prepare for this game, but their production has fallen off a cliff the last few weeks and their defense isn’t getting any better. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have defensive concerns as well, but they’re fifth in scoring offense and are fresh off a game against Army where 126 points were scored. We’ve seen the over cash in nine of the last 13 meetings between Duke and Wake Forest. Give me the over.
