Duke vs. Charlotte Pick Prediction 9/3/2021 by Tony T.
Duke vs. Charlotte—Free pick is Duke Blue Devils -6. It was a down season for the Blue Devils in 2020 yet they were able to pound Charlotte at home last year 53-19 running for 274 yards on 34 carries. Blue Devils top three running backs return. Gunnar Holmberg gets the start at quarterback. He saw mop up duty for Chase Brice who was a turnover machine. Holmberg is a running style quarterback which could work against a bad 49ers defense. Charlotte returns only thirteen this season. Defense last year surrendered 420 yards with 214 rushing for 5.9 yards per rush. Quarterback Chris Reynolds returns but only completed 54.9% of his passes and their top two running backs exit. Front seven lacks experience for Charlotte and will get overpowered by the experienced Blue Devils offense line. Play Duke -6.
