re: OFFICIAL CFB bet thread week 8

Seen him play 2-3 times now. I'm impressed. Still, don't think FSU should be favored in this spot.

Not saying I think Clemson is a lock by any means, but I've got 1 unit on them at +3.

Fair enough. I just don't see how that can be a deciding factor if you've seen him play. Like I said, players of his caliber thrive in these games. He is truly special.

I was really surprised to see that this guy has been as good as advertised. I completely agree, he is a special player. I guess I have just been down on Clemson all year and felt that coming into this game FSU was surely the better team at this point. Was surprised that the public seems to be all over Clemson early in the week.

I will be on FSU for sure.

Yup. Vegas isn't dumb. They knew they would have all kinds of action on Clemson as a home dog.

FSU gonna roll

I'm just not impressed when a QB lights up bad teams.


Geno Smith did the same thing the first 4-5 games last season. We simply don't know how good Winston is based on how he's played against Maryland, BC, Pitt, etc. I don't expect a RS Freshman to be able to handle the literal pressure Clemson's Dline will bring at him.

McElroy and McCarron were both great QBS as RS Freshman but both had the most mistakes and bad performances when under duress.

JFF last year threw 3 ints against LSU, in a similar situation and he might be the greatest talent we've seen at QB in CFB.

I know its a lot but this is where I am seeing value this week.

This is the best o line trickett has had at FSU. I'm not worried about their pass protect at all. Our biggest question mark will be defense. But we have made some pretty big strides on D with two weeks to plan and prepare. FSU pulls out a close one

Most people use 1% of their roll as a unit. How is his game selection shocking?

Have Indiana +8 or +8.5.

Indiana is on the rise. I hyped them last week and Michigan state blew them out in the second. Michigan is coming off a deflated, heartbreaking loss. I think Indiana keeps it close. Should be a pretty high sscoring game.
