4. Duke vs. Kansas (Under 57)

Excuse me while I try to stomach this game.

Duke and Kansas may make for one of the worst Power Five non-conference games of the season as the Blue Devils are 2-1 with a loss to Charlotte in Week 1 and two less-than-impressive wins in Weeks 2 and 3. The Blue Devils’ offense has been decent this year, averaging over 500 total yards per game and 34 points, but the defense hasn’t been all that stingy either.

Still, they’re facing Kansas which means that this is probably going to be a fairly boring game. Heck, I’d love to be wrong and I’d love to see this one be the most low-key exciting game of the weekend, but I just don’t see that.

Kansas averages 15 points per game and about 274 total yards per game so if this matchup is expected to hit 57 points, Duke may have to score 50 of them on its own. And, yeah, I don’t see that happening.

I have a feeling this one might not even reach 50 points.
