Schule's NCAAF AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER - ARZST@DUKE
(NCAAF) Duke vs. Arizona State, 12/27/2014 9:00 AM, Score: 31 - 36
Point Spread: -7.00 | -108.00 Arizona State (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Arizona State Sun Devils.

The Duke Blue Devils finished the regular season with nine wins, but most of those came against inferior teams in the ACC. They lost two of their last three games, with home losses to Virginia Tech and North Carolina. I think the Blue Devils are likely to be over-matched when they meet the Sun Devils in the Sun Bowl on Saturday.

Arizona State also finished with a record of 9-3, but four of those wins came against ranked opponents. They beat Notre Dame and Stanford by double digits.

Duke's defense is likely to struggled to contain D.J. Foster, who ran for 1002 yards during the season. Foster ran for 120 yards on 21 carries in a win over Notre Dame on November 8th, but failed to reach the century mark in his final three games. He's well rested ahead of this game though, and Duke's defense has had trouble stopping the run.

Duke hasn't won a bowl game since 1961, and hasn't defeated a non conference Top 25 team since beating Stanford in 1971. I don't think either of those streaks are going to end here today.

Take ASU.
