PINSTRIPE BOWL: This might not be a dream Bowl for these teams, playing in New York City on a Saturday afternoon the day after Christmas. However, Indiana at 6-6, and Duke at 7-5 it was about as good as they were going to do. Indiana started their Big-10 schedule at 0-6, but beat a couple of soft conference teams in Maryland and Purdue to become Bowl eligible. They also beat Florida International and Southern Illinois, so the resume isn't packed with significant wins. Despite a lot of soft touches, the Hoosiers allowed 37.1 points per game. The quality is lacking as since 1980, just six teams have made it to a Bowl game that allowed more than 37 ppg. The last three all lost ATS, allowing an average of 42 ppg. Duke won two games this season straight-up as a dog to Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, both teams that I believe are better than Indiana. Duke has been 59 yards better than their opponent from the line of scrimmage while Indiana is -12, and that spells a win for the ACC team. Duke held opponents to just 24.1 points per game and this total is set sky high. Take Duke on the moneyline.
