For Duke, Quentin Harris completed 14-of-23 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Harris (39 rushing yards on 14 attempts) and Mataeo Durant (71 yards on seven carries) handled the running game as Noah Gray (seven receptions, 76 yards, one TD) and Aaron Young (two catches, five yards) led the pass-catching corps in the loss.

Miami (FL) has run the ball on 47.9 percent of its offensive possessions this year while Duke has a rush percentage of 55.9 percent. The Hurricanes have rushed for 124 yards per game (including 115 per game versus Atlantic Coast opponents) and have 15 touchdowns on the ground this year. The Blue Devils are logging 152 rushing yards per game (148 in conference) and have 14 total rush TDs.

It appears that the Hurricanes could hold an advantage in all aspects of the ground game, since their backfield has logged 4.0 yards per carry while their defense is allowing 3.1 YPC to opponents. The Blue Devils have tallied 3.7 yards per carry and given up 4.5 YPC to opponents.

The Hurricanes offensive scheme has logged 266 yards/contest through the air overall (268 per game against conference opposition) and has 26 passing scores so far. The Blue Devils have produced 181 pass yards per outing (170.9 in the ACC) and have 17 total pass TDs.

Defensively, Miami (FL) has let opponents run for an average of 108 yards and throw for 201 yards per game. The Duke D has allowed 202.5 yards per game to opposing passers and 188.1 yards per game to opposing runners. The Hurricanes are giving up an adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) of only 5.08 to opponents, while the Blue Devils have allowed a 6 ANY/A.

Williams is up to 1,698 passing yards this season. He's connected on 134-of-208 attempts with 12 passing touchdowns and six interceptions. Williams has a 6.50 adjusted net yards per pass attempt overall, although that number sits at 8.21 over the past two outings.

The Hurricanes will probably try to control tempo by getting the ball into the hands of their running backs. The duo of Cam'Ron Harris (423 rush yards, four rush TDs, 97 receiving yards, one receiving TD) and DeeJay Dallas (597 rush yards, seven rush TDs, one receiving TD) have been focal points in the offensive scheme for Miami (FL).

Quentin Harris has completed 180-of-297 passes for 1,765 yards, 15 TDs and nine INTs for Duke. His ANY/A stands at an ultra-pedestrian 4.95 for the year and 2.46 over his last two outings.

The Blue Devils should also look to control the clock by turning to their backfield. Along with Noah Gray (342 receiving yards, three receiving TDs), Mataeo Durant (348 rush yards, one rush TD, one receiving TD) and Deon Jackson (565 rush yards, five rush TDs, 175 receiving yards, two TDs) have gotten plenty of action recently.

<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>College Basketball Betting -- Notre Dame Looks to Win Shooting Contest with Miami</strong></span></h3>
The Miami Hurricanes experienced a bit of a hiccup over this past week as they had to postpone a game against North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but after sitting out a full seven days they are back to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

This game takes place at 6 PM Eastern time at the Joyce Center in South Bend, and if you're a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer, you can get a great deal on the odds with reduced juice.

<strong>MIAMI HURRICANES at NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH, 6 PM ET (ACC Network)</strong>

<strong>College Basketball Betting Odds: Notre Dame -7.5, Total 140.5</strong>

Miami last saw the floor eight days ago, losing in overtime to Virginia Tech. Considering how many players they actually have available, that was a pretty good result, as was their previous outing, a victory over Duke. And obviously they're not stepping up in class here.

Isaiah Wong has been critical to this team's survival, and he has averaged 18.9 points over his last seven games. With the likes of Matt cCross and Earl Timberlake out of action, it's been a good opportunity for Elijah Olaniyi to get additional playing time.

Olaniyi is a transfer from Stony Brook who was first team all- conference in the American East a year ago. When he transferred to Miami, he was not expecting to play without having to sit out a year. But the NCAA adjusted its rules because of the pandemic, and he was given immediate eligibility. So here he is, and he seems like a natural scorer. Against Duke he had 21 points, then turned around and had 19 against Virginia Tech.

It's kind of touch-and-go as to whether the Hurricanes will have Chris Lykes available. The diminutive guard, who provides a lot of spark at the point guard position, injured his ankle early in the season and has only played a couple of games. It was hoped that he could come back last week, and he was practicing with the team, but after the North Carolina postponement, he re-injured his ankle in practice, so his status is certainly in doubt.

When you look at the Notre Dame team, they may not have scored a lot of quality wins, but they played some good programs. They've been swept by both Virginia and Virginia Tech, also losing to North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Duke, and in the non-conference schedule, Big Ten squads Michigan State, Ohio State and Purdue. But they got a little payback against Duke in the rematch last time out, as a career-high 28 points from Cormac Ryan paced them to a 93 - 89 victory.

Against the Blue Devils they shot 55% from the field, and that's been a strength, as they are indeed in the top 20 in effective field-goal percentage. Mike Brey's teams rarely turn the ball over, and this season's squad is no exception, as they rank 14th in the category of turnover percentage, according to the metrics compiled by Kenpom.com.

Notre Dame often has a sweet shooting team, and they are hitting 39% from the field. And 6 - 10 forward Nate Laszewski has been excellent at stepping out to hit the triple, with 53.3% accuracy. He's going to be a problem for Miami to deal with.

What Notre Dame doesn't necessarily do is defend all that well. They don't exert pressure, so opponents don't commit many turnovers. And they aren't exactly Hell on Wheels on the defensive glass. No, their path to victory is to hit a lot of open jump shots from beyond the arc. Miami's opponents have taken 41% of their shots from downtown, so obviously they permit that. And that is not necessarily the kind of thing you want to do against Notre Dame, which shoots treys and shoots them often, and shoots them well, at 39%.

I'm not sure that kind of combination it's going to work for Miami, so we are going to go ahead and lay the points.

As we head toward March Madness, make sure you have <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>bookmarked, as they present about as many college basketball betting options as anyone in the industry. And there is always a good deal with reduced juice, if you want to avoid having to lay the customary -110 on your hoops action........ If you want the convenience of making your deposits in Bitcoin, you can do that too, and you'll never have to incur a transaction fee. Wow!

Navy Midshipmen vs Army Black Knights NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 1/26/25

<p>Who would you say belongs on a list of “Must See Pitchers”? Randy Johnson? Sandy Koufax? Greg Maddux? Pedro Martinez? Nolan Ryan? Tom Seaver? Who would make the cut for you?</p>



<p>If your list doesn’t include Jacob deGrom, then your list is wrong. deGrom is having maybe the most dominant stretch in MLB history and he’ll look to put another notch in the proverbial belt with this Thursday July 1 start against the Atlanta Braves.</p>



<p>The Mets are a -165 favorite at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a> with a total of 6.5 for a nine-inning game. Ian Anderson will get the nod for the Braves and have a very small margin for error against the planet’s best pitcher.</p>



<h2 id="h-new-york-mets"><strong><u>New York Mets</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Mets are starting to get some position players back and have to hope that they’ve weathered all of the adversity that they need to deal with this season. For several weeks, the Mets were missing Michael Conforto, Brandon Nimmo, JD Davis, Jeff McNeil, and Kevin Pillar, among others.</p>



<p>Davis and Nimmo remain out, but the lineup looks a lot better with four of those players back and also with the resurgent Francisco Lindor, who has officially shaken off his slow start to the season and has been the player that the Mets expected to get when they signed him to a contract worth over $300 million.</p>



<p>Overall, New York’s offense is still close to the bottom of the league, ranking well into the bottom third, but slightly above the bottom five. It will take some time to get those numbers up to a respectable place, but from a talent standpoint, the Mets certainly have a lot of it and should be able to put a dent in those early-season numbers as we go forward, so long as they stay healthy.</p>



<p>The nice thing is that even if it takes some time to generate more offense, the Mets don’t need a lot of run support for Jacob deGrom. Not like he gets any anyway, but deGrom has a 0.69 ERA and a 0.98 FIP, so he is plenty capable of holding his own. He’s also done well at the plate, but his pitching numbers are historic to say the least.</p>



<p>deGrom has 122 strikeouts in 78 innings of work to go up against just 11 walks. Somehow three guys have hit homers off of deGrom this season. They must have had a Will Ferrell in “Old School” sort of experience by blacking out when making contact, much like Frank The Tank did in the debate. deGrom is elite and we are witnessing history every time he pitches.</p>



<h2 id="h-atlanta-braves"><strong><u>Atlanta Braves</u></strong></h2>



<p>This will be a good test for deGrom. The Braves offense entered play on Wednesday barely inside the top 10 in the wOBA department. The problem for Atlanta has been a lack of consistency. The Braves have bunched all of their runs together some nights and have gone dormant other nights.</p>



<p>Case in point, the Braves scored 20 runs on Wednesday night against the Mets. That’s what they do. They’ll hang a huge number and then fail to surpass that number over the next 4-5 games combined. It is really hard to know what you are going to get on a daily basis, though the presence of deGrom makes it a lot easier to figure out for that night.</p>



<p>That means that the onus is on Ian Anderson to pitch well enough to give his team a chance. The total of 6 suggests that he has a shot. Anderson has a 3.42 ERA with a 3.21 FIP in his 81.2 innings of work. It sure seems like a lot of the narrative about the Braves has been more about what they don’t have instead of what they do.</p>



<p>Yes, Mike Soroka had a setback and is out for the season. Yes, Max Fried has spent some time on the IL and struggled to get into the rhythm of the season. Yes, depth guys like Kyle Wright and Bryse Wilson have continued to have their issues. But, what about focusing on the good? Like Anderson, who has excellent numbers this season with a 26.1% K% and a GB% over 50%.</p>



<p>The Braves bullpen has been a major hindrance, too. A lot of guys have experienced spin rate decreases with the crackdown on substances and that unit just has not been effective in general. That will have to change if the Braves want to make some noise in this division.</p>



<h2 id="h-mets-vs-braves-free-pick"><strong><u>Mets vs. Braves Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>So, what do we do here? Do we lay the lumber with deGrom? Bet under 6.5? Over 6.5? Try the Braves as an underdog? The only play I see here is the last one. To try the Braves in a big underdog role. deGrom can’t be this sharp every night, can he? Anderson is plenty good enough to keep Atlanta in the game and the bullpens aren’t that far apart, at least from a talent standpoint. Sometimes the tough bets to make are the right ones.</p>
