PITTSBURGH -- The Duke Blue Devils are hampered with a quarterback injury as they limp to the finish of what had been a promising 2023 season, but they are still favored to take care of business against the Pitt Panthers this weekend. 

Duke opened as a 6.5-point favorite, according to Action Network, in their regular season finale against Pitt at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina. The Panthers' moneyline odds sit at +195, compared to -245 for the Blue Devils. The point total line has been set at 42.5. 

The Panthers have dominated this series throughout its history and especially in recent years. Pitt has not lost to the Blue Devils since Pat Narduzzi took over as head coach and the Panthers have won 11 of the last 12 in the series.

Pitt beat Duke in a thriller on Senior Day at Acrisure Stadium, surviving a late surge from the Blue Devils and escaping with a 28-26 win as part of their undefeated run through November.
