    I have absolutely no confidence that we win. Charlotte is not a bad team. They aren't particularly good, either, but neither is Duke.
    Two mediocre teams sets up for a high scoring affair from both sides. Maybe the first one to 40 wins.

    I don't like our chances then.

    A Duke loss isn't impossible but it would absolutely be a sign that the wheels are coming off the train.

    Anything less than a two-touchdown win is unacceptable for Duke. This game really shouldn't be competitive in the second half.

    I never thought I'd see the day when a Duke game vs UNC Charlotte was a must win situation.

    I expect Duke to win this game in a blow-out.

    SupaDave and Mr. Sumner before him should bet the house/farm/wife and kids in Vegas. Betting line started at 11 and has dropped to 9-9.5.

    I feel you but I just don't see it. And Jim is quite frankly usually spot on with these things.

    A very talented NC A&T beat Charlotte just 2 years ago and then the next year basically the same A&T hung with Duke for 2 quarters before the wheels falling off.

    UNC Charlotte is STILL not better than A&T.

    Duke BETTER NOT lose this game. Else other convos will need to be had... (will be had).

    If we can limit turnovers to three we will probably win.

    Not the most confident statement on our chances, but maybe realistic. I’m concerned that Charlotte takes this much more seriously than the Devils.

    We will win easily if we don't have any turnovers. But, if we don't, it will be far better than in any other game this season.

    we've both been at this for a long long time, Arnie, and over confidence has rarely been a problem for us. (you and me, I mean)

    It is all about the turnovers.

    Charlotte +4
    Duke -11

    Charlotte’s total needs to move left on the number line postgame while Duke’s moves right.

    Not surprisingly, Duke opts for the Halloween uniform combination synonymous with, well, you know.

    Back to football - for the first time ever I'm glad we are wearing the black uniforms - this team needs something to juice them up and give them focused intensity - I hope it helps.

    You may know this, but I ran into the same situation and found that it's Very Possible Not to be subject to the blackout, even in the triangle.

    Yeah, thought about it, but even if it were on TV, I'd still be listening since I'll be handing out candy to midget monsters.
