College Football Sportsbook Projects Duke Will Win 7 Games for 2015-2016 Season

5Dimes betting sportsbook recently released their projected win totals for every FBS team for the 2015-2016 college football season. Duke was predicted to win 7 games (over -150, under +110) this upcoming regular season, which according to 5Dimes would put them at 8th in the conference, 3rd in the Coastal Division, and means the Blue Devils would be eligible for their 4th straight bowl game appearance.

ESPN’s ACC Football analyst Jared Shanker agreed with the projections for Duke, saying it was a ‘Push’ for the Blue Devils to win 7 games this season. I personally believe the Blue Devils can exceed 7 wins, but may be a little biased, after Duke is coming off three straight bowl game appearances, a trip to the 2013 ACC Championship game, and two consecutive 9+ win seasons under head coach David Cutcliffe.

The Blue Devils don’t have a very difficult schedule for the 2015 season, avoiding Atlantic division powerhouses Florida State and Clemson (they get Boston College and annual rival Wake Forest) as well as ACC/independent school Notre Dame. Duke also has a pretty easy nonconference schedule, except for a visit from Northwestern, and will be able to host Miami and defending Coastal division champion Georgia Tech for home games in Durham.
