  "account": "Miami Hurricanes are opening as 14.5-point favorites over Duke Blue Devils in their Week 11 homecoming game at Hard Rock Stadium, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Following their first loss of the season to Notre Dame 31-24, the Hurricanes are aiming to bounce back against their former coach Manny Diaz, who is now leading Duke. Several Miami players, including quarterback Darian Mensah and wide receiver Cooper Barkate, were also star players for Duke before transferring to Miami. Diaz also had other Miami players join him in his coaching role at Duke. With these factors in play, Duke is coming to Miami with a grudge to settle and the potential to upset the team, keeping their slim chances of making the ACC Championship Game alive.",
