Baylor takes on Duke at 2:30 in McLane Stadium. The game airs on FS1.

The Bears are now a four point favorite on most books.

Cheap seats are available for $7 on StubHub. There are also some student tickets still available.

Uniforms:

The Bears will wear green-gray-green today. The Bears wore that combination in the Cactus Bowl victory over Boise State.

Prediction:

Duke is without their starting quarterback and best defensive back. The Bears have a tough challenge, but I think they get it done. I’d expect Charlie Brewer to secure the job today and have a big day with Denzel Mims.

I’m certainly worried Baylor is going to give up a few huge plays. The Bears have more talent and are healthy, minus Josh Malin. I’ll take Baylor 31-24.

Other Games:

We’ll keep this thread as the open thread until Baylor’s game. Then I’ll throw up a thread for that one.

Sic ‘Em!
