I hope not but I see why you would think that. I want to see Oregon's defense make a statement.

I don't trust Arizona even with Rich Rod. Oregon always seems to find ways to make them look foolish since Dixon left.

Might give the Clemson FSU game a 13 point super middle teaser look.

-130
Clemson +27.5
FSU -1.5
UNDER 71
OVER 45

I'd stay away from Clemson is you are betting it straight up. FSU at home is going to wreak havoc on them. There is a reason why the line is now 14.5, books begging for action on Clemson.

I don't like straight up either way. I do like like the thought of teasing FSU down.

I agree. I think FSU wins by 20-23

Why? Clemson best them by 5 last year, has most of that team back, and now all of a sudden can't keep it within 2 tds?

Clemson should keep it within 2 TDs. Their offense is too prolific not to.

FSU is a lot better than the SEC crowd is giving them credit for.

Clemson has already been battle tested thought. FSU has played a bunch of no bodies. I'm not saying Clemson wins at all. I'm just insinuating that there will probably be a late garbage TD to back door.

It was 13.5 for a while. Couldn't we say that they were begging us to bet FSU? Especially considering they are the trendy team right now. They have played ZERO competition.

While Auburn isn't exactly a stud win for Clemson, they are way better than Florida school for the blind and Sarasota elementary on FSU's schedule.

I think 14.5 is worth a look. Then again, my record would make me wrong.

That may very well be true, but FSU isn't tested. Plus they lost their stud d-lineman for the year, another blow. I agree with hole that there could be a garbage TD for the backdoor cover.

The big money has poured in on FSU. With the line now at 14.5, books really want Clemson backers to even the money out

I understand. It makes sense, but I've made a habit of overthinking the lines and it's cost me big. I'm gonna try taking a new apporoach.

Common misconception tots, there are many reasons for line movement.

The reason why I'm saying large money is on FSU is because an insider I follow of twitter stated that. I can't remember exactly which one for me to copy/paste though

This is where the "fading the public concept" confuses me. Wouldn't this be a prime exemple of that?


Trendy pick
Media loves the team
Public perception is that they are a title contender
etc...

Isn't this what happened last week with USC (kind of)? Stanford wound up beating them outright.

Not saying your wrong TTT, just trying to understand the differences and nuances with line movements.
