    How much of Clemson + 7 1/2 is bloat from the curse?

    Good Morning,

    The books have posted a bloated + 7 1/2 line on Clemson. They have the leagues best scoring defense as well as holding teams under 38 percent in league player. With the total pegged at 125 1/2, a line of 7 1/2 indicates a substansil difference in talent. The teams are closer than this.

    Is this a case of the book hanging a line to get action on both sides? The line should be at +2 1/2 Clemson but if they go with that everyone floods on NC because Clemson is 0 - 58 at Chapel Hill.

    yeah definitely an interesting line, a little suspicious

    i took clemson but just average size bet, nothing crazy

    definitely seems a bit too high on the surface

    It all depends if UNC takes Clemson seriously...

    they tend to play to the level of their competition. Great against the elite teams and average/piss poor against the lesser teams..

    i assume the game is at UNC hmm i guess i would take the points..

    Clemson's 33 point loss to Pitt in their last game might have people a bit scared

    It's Clemson's offense people are concerned about. Line confuses the crap out of me. I've been playing some of the home favorites and have been getting beat. It's scary to think if Clemson had at least that one star go to player to go to on offense, how deadly would this team be? Very!

    2.5?

    That's really low bro

    Clemson is not that good, but I agree the line is slightly high.

    Can't back either teams here

    I like teams that can play defense. I hope out of all the players that will take the court for Clemson that one of them will score well today. If they do, I see easy cover. More upside to this than down IMO

    What scares me is this game is on a Sunday. You know very well that Clemson players were partying hard with North Carolina girls last night till the wee hours.

    I'm a Tar Heel fan and this game worries me. Clemson is a strong defensive squad, and the Heels struggle to score. This game comes down to one thing. Can the Heels dictate the tempo of the game? If Clemson tries to run with Carolina, then things could get ugly in Chapel Hill.
