This matchup is set to be an exciting one to watch on September 21, 2024 at 4:00 pm ET and we have you covered with our preview of this Duke vs Middle Tennessee matchup.

Duke Looking For 4-0 Start

The Duke Blue Devils are off to a very good start to their season, winning each of their first three games. But it is worth noting that they have scraped by in each of their two games against FBS opponents, needing two overtimes to beat Northwestern and beating UConn by just five points. Here, Duke will look for a more convincing performance, as they are double-digit favorites against a Middle Tennessee team whose defense has been horrible for the most part this year.

Middle Tennessee Defense Must Improve

Middle Tennessee is 1-2 to start their season, beating Tennessee Tech of the FCS by a touchdown before losing two straight games to Ole Miss and Western Kentucky. In those two losses, the Blue Raiders have allowed a combined 101 points, including 49 to Western Kentucky in their last outing. If that defense doesn't play better here, Middle Tennessee will be looking at three straight losses and they will be in danger of this season getting away from them in a hurry.

Duke vs Middle Tennessee Best Bet

Our best bet for Saturday's Duke vs Middle Tennessee matchup is for this game to go over the total in Murfreesboro. Duke should have its best offensive game of the season against this dreadful Middle Tennessee defense. And with Duke playing down to the level of its competition at times already this year, we should see Middle Tennessee do a little scoring of their own in order to push this contest over the total.
