Don't over think this people. Clemson will roll. Florida State has played Pitt, Nevada, Bethune Cookman, Boston College, and Maryland. Nothing close to what they will see Saturday Night.

Oregon State play at -10, Capped at -18
Kent State play at +7, Capped at -1
Rice play at -18, Capped at -24
Wisconsin play at -13, Capped at -21
Cincinnati play at -13, Capped at -21
Michigan play at -7, Capped at -19
Kent State play at +7, Capped at -1

So you make a very strong statement about Clemson, but you aren't including them in your plays? Just trying to avoid confusion.

Sorry didn't make that clear. Yes I'm playing them at +3.

And Clemson has played a much tougher schedule?
You lose a ton of credibility if you honestly think Clemson is going to roll FSU

I'll come back and eat crow if Clemson doesn't win by double digits.
If it helps my credibility any I was #1 in pick em up until last week when I forgot to submit my damn picks.

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.
Not arguing, or anything else, just adding my .02. The trouble with backing teams such as Indiana is the fact that their defense sucks so bad. Their offense has to play virtually mistake free to make up for their lack of defense. I hate backing teams with inept defenses bc if the offense has a bad day, it's likely going to lead to a blowout.

I agree. No way I'm investing in a team that gave up 41 points to Navy.
Their only quality game/win is Penn State. Every other major team they have played beat them by double digits.

What are the bets to make this week?
Posted on 10/17/13 at 8:25 am to HoLeInOnEr05
Anyone else thinking about Fresno St? UNLV is 110th in scoring defense and Fresno St averages 47.4 points.
Posted on 10/17/13 at 8:38 am to hendersonshands
Only concern I have is the inept D of Fresno St. I could see a late back door cover by UNLV.

To all that have stated Clemson is "gonna roll" Below is a link to the top 25 rankings. Not the AP or the coaches poll. The vegas oddsmakers power rankings. You know the guys that do this for a living and are not biased whatsoever? The people who are smarter than you (and me for that matter) set the line at Clemson plus 3 AT HOME and some of you definitively state "Clemson is gonna crush" b/c you see a potent offense and a number 3 ranking next to Clemson's name when they play on ESPN. I'm not predicting this game either way but do you honestly not see how saying Clemson crushes them given all this information makes you look ridiculous? I'm serious you really don't see how unintelligent that appears?

Yet you don't say a word about the people who claim "FSU is gonna roll"?
Posted on 10/17/13 at 9:20 am to TheOcean
I've seen multiple people make the claim "FSU is gonna roll", just as people have said Clemson is gonna roll. So why in a game with a 3 point spread is he chastising only those who say Clemson is gonna roll, when Vegas is clearly saying its gonna be a close game?
Posted on 10/17/13 at 9:22 am to bamafan425
I haven't seen a ton of posts saying FSU is going to roll. But I have no problem chastising both sides, I think it'll be a close one

Vegas says FSU is the 4th best team in the country. Vegas also says Clemson is the 14th best team in the country. FSU is favored to win the game. The worst thing about people who don't get it is they don't get that they don't get it.

Ford Frenzy used the exact words and dg agreed (with the stipulation that the o line must hold up).
