Because Clemson beat Aub?

thats stupid FSU is a solid team and far better than clemson Im actually about to get on FSU


Because Clemson’s offense put up over 600 yards and ran 92 plays against an SEC defense. Because Florida State hasn’t won in Death Valley in over a decade. Because they Noles will be coming off a huge hangover after losing a game they’d built up as the defining game of Jimbo’s tenure. Because Florida State doesn’t have a single offensive threat that a defense has to gameplan for. Because Florida State rushed for 26 yards at home against Oklahoma and couldn’t break 100 against ULM. Because Sammy Watkins is going to ravage Greg Reid on national TV. Because Clemson’s defensive line is either going to snap an immobile not-100% Manuel in half, or they’re going to tee off on a first time starter on the road in the hardest environment in the ACC.

Should I continue? Because I can.

My first glance plays

Georgia -10.5 @ Ole Miss
FSU -1.5 @ Clemson
UCLA +3.5 @ Oregon St.
Tulsa +32.5 @ Boise and over 62.5
Oregon -15.5 @ Arizona

Thoughts?

I do not like the Clemson game. And I wouldn't bet Clemson even if I did.

FSU hasn't really produced on the ground, but They have the 13th ranked passing game, and the 11th ranked scoring Defense. And they played the tougher opponent.

And Clemson put up a lot on Auburn, but Auburn doesn't have a good defense. They had a horrible secondary last year, but Fairley wrecked shop on the DLine. Their scoring Defense this year is 107th. 118th Rushing Defense. 117 Total Defense. 100th Passing Defense.

So basically Auburn's defense is nothing to base an argument on.

And Clemson hadn't beat Auburn in decades, yet they did it, so that FSU in Death Valley argument doesn't hold water.

I just really don't like the game.

Florida line has gone to -20. I got in at -18.

I hope Georgia covers. I'm getting nervous about that game all of a sudden.

Don't really play teasers much but I like this one.

Baylor -13.5
State -13.5



Also thinking UGA game may be bloodbath for Georgia bettors. Haven't seen one person on Ole Miss and line dropping.

Utah State tore up that defense, being an SEC team doesn't make them good.

Brilliant analysis.


Just know I’ll be here Saturday to say I told you so.

Florida State ran for 27 yards on Oklahoma and couldn’t even break 100 against ULM. They have no one who can cover Watkins and Nuke Hopkins is way too physical for 5’-8 Greg Reid. O and is 5’-8 Lamarcus Joyner going to cover Dwayne Allen? Sorry I just spit-up my coffee laughing.

And on offense, who exactly from Florida State is going to score? Something like their top 4 WRs are either out or injured. Their running backs are average. Their quarterback is either a banged-up Manuel who won’t be as much of a running threat or a newbee making his first start on the road.

Clemson by 10+.

Overcoming a streak like that at home is much easier than on the road, especially if you expect to do it with a first-time starter at quarterback.

I'll be here too.

Its a football game it can go either way. But i still say the smart bet is the top 10 team having to win by a FG. Even if FSU loses i will still say i made the right bet
