Apply to Duke and Vandy this year or next?

I'm waiting for my December LSAT to come back, and while I'm applying to other schools, my real targets are Duke and Vandy. My GPA is just below their 75% (3.81), and I anticipate my LSAT coming in right at or below their 25% (167 +/- 2). I recognize this is speculation since I don't have an LSAT score, but I want to know my options so I can make quick decisions when I get my number.

I have two questions:

1) Would shooting for Duke's 2nd round Binding ED option compensate for my applying late in the cycle? Would I have a shot?
2) If I apply to both and get rejected, would it hurt my chances of applying to these same schools next year. In other words, would I be better off to wait and not risk it?
