Hopefully the coaching staff put the extra days off to good use and we see an improved offense against Georgia Tech.
Duke will play under the lights Saturday Nov. 28 at 7 pm against Georgia Tech in Atlanta. TV coverage will be by RSN the Regional Sports Network. Go Devils! Discuss our next to the last game of the year here.

The opening line has the game a pick em with the over/under set at 56.5

By the numbers:
Sagarin likes Duke by 6 on the road. His numbers for Syracuse, GT, and FSU are similar.
GT scores 21 and gives up 40 per game. The numbers improve slightly if you throw out the Clemson game (23 and 35) but are still worse than Duke (26 and 32). Those numbers are also similar to Syracuse (16 and 31) and FSU (19 and 38).
GT joins us as one of the worst teams by TOM. (-1.00)
GT is not a good rushing defense team (203 yds)
GT has not shown the propensity to pass like UNC or Wake (203 yds passing)
I'll throw those numbers out the window because I am concerned that we will not match GT's effort.
Duke 45
GT 17
More than one Duke quarterback throws and/or runs for a TD! Maybe both - can you say "The Gunnar package"!?

Going to be a busy day for me, moving to a new apartment. Hopefully I'll be finished in time to sit back and enjoy the 2nd half (although I guess that takes for granted that the second half will be enjoyable).
The channels carrying the game:

We have not gotten maps all year. If you are inside the conference footprint, those channels in your market and their online equivalents are likely your only option. Outside that area, those are an option as well as online through ESPN3 functionality on WatchESPN and on television via ESPN College Extra if your provider participates.

No map, but we have an ESPN College Extra assignment. For those outside the conference footprint whose provider participates, it will be the first channel in that package (788 on DirecTV).
College Football News does a good job of scouting all the teams, predicting all the games. They see Duke's offense as being less inept than GT's: https://collegefootballnews.com/2020...n-game-preview
Duke is now a one point favorite.

It’s a beautiful day for football in the ATL! I’ll be there tonight just like I have been for every Duke-GT game since 1992. Yes, I am a glutton for punishment! Will be first game in person, so will be interesting to see from that perspective. Will Chase look as bad in person as he is on tv? It will be disappointing if we play as poorly as we did vs Heels.
LGD!!
Rocky Shelton will miss tonight's game after testing positive for COVID-19.
