Syracuse football: Orange open as 10-point underdogs vs. Duke

The Syracuse Orange football team will open as double-digit underdogs against the Duke Blue Devils this weekend.

Despite Duke losing by 30-plus to Notre Dame this past week, the Blue Devils were still seen as 10-point underdogs to start the festivities, according to VegasInsider.com.

Duke’s 3-0 against Syracuse in the all-time series, having last won in a 27-10 game back in 2014. Before that, the Orange lost two separate contest back in the 1930s. This has been a fairly one-sided series in favor of the Blue Devils.

Coming into this one, Duke has lost three straight to Virginia, UNC and Notre Dame, respectively.
