Troy vs. Duke
- Leg 1: Under 44.5 (-115)

- Leg 3: Kimani Vidal Over 105.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
The Duke hype train rolled after that win against Clemson early in the season, but they were never able to capitalize on it. The reason was due to the season-ending injury to quarterback Riley Leonard, and then Duke went 3-4 after that. Leonard and several other starters from the season have hit the portal, so that the Blue Devils will be short-handed. Troy is coming off another 11-win season, and the eye test shows they were one of the best G5 teams in the nation. Quarterback Gunnar Watson was stellar this year with 8.3 yards per completion and 27 touchdowns, but running back Kimani Vidal was their backbone as the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year had 5.7 yards per carry and 14 touchdowns. The defensive matchup should be a key component for both teams, and this won't be a blowout on either side because of these defenses.
Grayson Lofton will be getting the start for Duke in this game. The true freshman has seen action throughout the season but wasn't spectacular, with a 53.7 completion rate and eight touchdowns to three interceptions. The Trojan’s defensive line is furious, as their 45 sacks were the fourth-most and were 32nd in passing yards allowed. That's a tough matchup for any inexperienced quarterback.
That can be how Troy controls the clock. Duke is more vulnerable in the run game, and the Trojans are a well-balanced offense with a 50/50 run-to-pass ratio. Vidal went off on Appalachian State with 223 yards and five touchdowns. He won't get that, but he can hit the century mark.
