Duke Blue Devils 2023 Season Preview
Duke football is heading into the 2023 season with high expectations and optimism. Under the guidance of head coach Mike Elko, who had an impressive debut season, the Blue Devils are determined to continue their upward trajectory. Last season, Duke showed significant improvement and finished with a commendable 9-4 record. The team has 17 returning starters, providing a strong foundation for the upcoming season.
On the offensive side of the ball, Duke's quarterback Riley Leonard is a key player to watch. Leonard had a breakout season in 2022, displaying dual-threat capabilities and efficient passing. He will lead an offense that saw significant improvements under the coaching staff, and he will be supported by experienced receivers such as Jalon Calhoun and Jordan Moore.
The running back position also boasts a strong trio of talents, including Jordan Waters, Jaylen Coleman, and Jaquez Moore. This combination offers Duke a solid rushing attack and adds depth to the backfield.
Moreover, the offensive line, led by All-ACC tackle Graham Barton, provides stability and protection for Leonard, contributing to Duke's offensive success.
Defensively, Duke has made notable strides under the guidance of Coach Elko. The defense improved significantly from the previous season and looks to maintain that momentum. The secondary is a particular strength of the team, featuring potential All-ACC performers at safety and talented cornerback additions from the transfer portal.
The pass rush is another area where the Blue Devils excel, with returning starters and experienced players providing a strong foundation for the defense. Although there are a few positions to fill, Duke's defense is expected to be effective in generating turnovers and limiting opponents' scoring opportunities.
While the team faces a tougher schedule in 2023, with challenging opponents such as Clemson, Florida State, and Notre Dame, there is optimism that Duke can remain competitive and potentially secure another bowl trip. Overall, the coaching staff's emphasis on improvement and the presence of key players on both sides of the ball give Duke football reason to be optimistic about the upcoming season.
Duke Blue Devils Point Spreads
In case you aren’t familiar with point spreads, they are bets based on a team winning or losing by a certain number of points. Oddsmakers set the spread at the amount they expect the favored team to win by, shown with a minus sign, while the underdog team will have a plus sign at the same amount.
For example, if the Blue Devils are 10.5-point underdogs to North Carolina, you would add 10.5 to the Blue Devils' score (or subtract 10.5 from the Tar Heels) when judging your bet against the spread. This means that as long as Duke loses by 10 or fewer points (or wins outright), Duke bettors win, but North Carolina bettors would need their team to win by 11 or more.
Duke Blue Devils Over/Unders
Over/unders, or totals, are a way to bet on the combined scoring of both teams in a game.
Say sportsbooks set the total for Duke’s game against North Carolina at 55.5. As long as both teams' final scores added up to over 56, then over bettors would win their bet. It doesn’t matter who wins or how much either team scores individually, as long as the combined number is over (or under, depending which side you bet) the total set by the sportsbook.
Duke Blue Devils Moneylines
Moneylines are a reflection of how likely bookmakers think either team is to win. Favorites are listed with a minus sign and underdogs with a plus sign, and the number is the amount a bettor would need to risk to win $100 or how much a $100 bet would return, respectively.
In a game against North Carolina, Duke might be +500 underdogs. This means that a bettor making a $100 wager would be paid $500 in profit in the unlikely event Duke won. If Duke were a -500 favorite, on the other hand, you’d need to risk $500 for a potential $100 profit.
Duke Blue Devils Props
If betting on the performance of the Blue Devils as a whole isn’t your style, you could focus on individual player props. Player props are a bet on the statistics of a single player, and they function in an over/under fashion just like totals.
Note that not all sportsbooks offer markets on college football props, so make sure to shop around and find the right book for you.
Duke Blue Devils Futures
Futures are bets on whole season outcomes. Some examples of Duke futures bets include their season win total, a longshot bet on projected starting QB Riley Leonard to win the Heisman Trophy, and more.
