Duke baseball vs. Murray State: Prediction, odds for Game 3 of Durham Super Regional The Duke Blue Devils and Murray State Racers are playing in a winner-take-all Game 3 of the Durham Super Regional on Monday. The winner of the game will advance to the College World Series in Omaha, and the loser's season will be over. Duke won the first game of the series, but Murray State evened it up on Sunday, blowing out the Blue Devils 19-9 at Jack Coombs Field in Durham, North Carolina. Duke battled back and made it a 10-8 game in the sixth inning, but the Racers scored nine runs in the seventh inning to take control of the game. The Blue Devils are looking for their first-ever series win in the Super Regional round, losing their previous three in the decisive third game. Murray State is playing in the first Super Regional in program history and has never been to the CWS. Here is a look at the updated odds from FanDuel for Game 3 of Duke-Murray State and a prediction for the game. The Odds Murray State Racers: +190 Duke Blue Devils: -250 Despite losing by 10 runs in Game Two of the series, Duke is heavily favored in the game. The Blue Devils have been great at home all season, going 30-10. Murray State's Statistical Leaders Batting Average: Dustin Mercer (.360) Slugging: Jonathan Hogart (.695) Home Runs: Jonathan Hogart (20) RBI: Dan Tauken (75) Stolen Bases: Carson Garner (14) Duke's Statistical Leaders Batting Average: Ben Miller (.321) Ben Miller (.321) Slugging: Ben Miller (.638) Ben Miller (.638) Home Runs: Ben Miller (21) Ben Miller (21) RBI: Ben Miller (63) Ben Miller (63) Stolen Bases: Tyler Albright (15) Advice and Prediction Best Bet: Duke -250 The Blue Devils are the heavy favorites for the game, and they should be. Yes, they got blown out in Game Two on Sunday, but they have been excellent at home all season and should be playing in front of another excellent crowd. They haven't lost back-to-back home games this season, and it won't happen on Monday as Duke does enough to win the game and punch their ticket to the College World Series for the first time since 1961. How to watch, listen to Monday's game Date: Monday, June 9 Time: 7 p.m. ET TV: ESPN Streaming: ESPN+ The game between Duke and Murray State will start at 7 p.m. ET on Monday at Jack Coombs Field in Durham, North Carolina.

Texas Longhorns opponents on 2025 schedule ranked by ESPN FPI
Texas Longhorns opponents on 2025 schedule ranked by ESPN FPI ESPN has released its FPI rankings for 2025. How do the super computers in Bristol, CT rank the 12 teams on the Texas Longhorns schedule? According to ESPN, the Football Power Index (FPI) "is a predictive rating system that estimates each FBS team's strength (in points per game relative to the national average) on offense, defense and special teams, making adjustments for starters lost, recruiting talent and other personnel changes. Those numbers are then plugged into the schedule, and everything is simulated 20,000 times to track each team's odds of winning its conference, making the playoff and advancing through to the national title." After the 20,000 simulations, the Longhorns are the No. 1 team in the nation. Texas has the top FPI rating at 28.5. ESPN gives the Longhorns an 8.9% chance of going undefeated with a projected record of 10.4-2.1. UT has a 34.1% to win the SEC, an 83.9% chance of making the 12-team college football playoff, an astounding 37.7% chance to make the national title game and a 24.1% chance to win it all.
