Blue Devils will return to another bowl game

This one may not be as bold as some of the other predictions but this Duke football team should return to another bowl game in 2018. This program has appeared in bowl games in five of the last six years.

This past season though was not a guarantee after the team lost six games in the middle of the season. However, wins in the final two games were enough for them to earn a trip to the Quick Lane Bowl.

Entering this year, the Blue Devils are more experienced and will still have that losing streak fresh in their mind. They should be able to win enough games in 2018 to make it six bowl games in seven years.
