3 prediction markets price this story:

• North Carolina vs. Duke — resolved “North Carolina” on 17 Oct 2026. The market resolves to North Carolina if they win the scheduled college football game on October 17 at 3:30 PM ET. It resolves to Duke if they win, with overtime included in the final score. Readers often mistake this for a basketball matchup because of the ACC rivalry context, but the rules specify it is a football game.
• North Carolina vs. Duke: O/U 47.5 — resolved “Under” on 17 Oct 2026. The Over outcome requires North Carolina and Duke to score a combined total of 48 or more points in their scheduled college football game on October 17. The Under outcome applies if that combined total falls below 48 points. Readers often mistake the deadline, assuming the market closes immediately after the scheduled start time rather than waiting for the final official score.
• Duke — the market puts it at 5%, closing 10 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Duke qualifies for the 2026 College Football Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game. It resolves to No otherwise. Readers often mistake the linked UNC football story as relevant, but only Duke's qualification matters.
