2. Duke (vs. Boston College)

Duke has already seen the field in 2020, losing at Notre Dame in their season opener last weekend. They had their moments, particularly early in the game. Quarterback Chase Brice showed why he was so highly coveted by Clemson, completing some really nice throws. The run defense looks like it might be a concern heading forward, and that could be significant.

Boston College is all about the ground and pound. They lose AJ Dillon, but much like Wisconsin, Boston College has the ability to replace running backs at a great level.

Last season, Boston College finished 7th in the country in rushing yards per game. With the addition of Notre Dame transfer quarterback Phil Jurkovec, the Eagles offense should significantly improve their 176 yards per game through the air.

Even slight improvement there, combined with a great ground attack, could lead to a long afternoon for the Blue Devils.
