FSU football: Top 5 reasons Noles will defeat Duke Blue Devils Friday night

FSU football will take its 20-game-winning streak against the Duke Blue Devils on the road Friday night. FSU is (1-5), and Duke is (5-1), but Duke is only a three-point home favorite despite the big differences in records.

However, it's the first time Duke football has been a betting favorite against FSU. The oddsmakers predict a relatively low-scoring game, as both teams have struggled offensively.

I know casual fans probably look at the records and automatically assume Duke will win the game. However, it's all about the matchups, and this game is a good matchup for the Noles on paper, which is why I'm going to pick the Noles to win.

FSU had made an effort to get some of its younger talent on the field, especially on offense, and that could make a major difference coming off three weeks to prepare going back to the week of preparation for the Clemson game. FSU is the more talented team, and as long as they don't have multiple turnovers, I think they'll get the job done.

Here are my top five reasons I expect FSU to beat Duke and keep their winning streak against them intact.
