5 team parlay, very confident

Please spare yourself the anguish of betting against your team and then watching them cover. Cuse is much better than you think (or the ACC is worse, take your pick). Syracuse has a ton of momentum plus the advantage of a bye week. This will be the best game Cuse plays this year, by far.

Another way of looking at it is that SU is probably 2 or 3 points better than the NC State team that (barely) covered a 13.5-point spread at home against Clemson.

I think the Cincinnati game is a tough one to call with the recent tragedy following the Bearcats last win. It's impossible to know how a team will respond to a situation like this. Could play inspired lights out football or they could come out completely flat, staying away from this one regardless how horrible USF is.

NC State played well against clemson. Take a look at NC State - 8.5 against a childish Wake Forest Team, I know I am. ACC game yes but it wont matter. (my brother is a deamon-deacon

At first glance I thought this looked pretty good. I like everything but SYR game.

I'd be interested in your reason for going with the over.

You'd have to admit that the Cuse D looks improved, but NW roughed them up, played Lions decent and then beat two cup cakes to at least think they are good.

Do you think the Cuse can run the ball on the Tigers? If not, they could be in for a long day.

I'm sure Boyd and his boys will love the fast track in the dome. If Cuse can't get 1st downs (3 and outs) Tigs will blow them out. You need them to get 3 tds or low 20's to assist you with that over. Can they?

I had this game around 59-65, giving you little value at 64

Bottom line, I think Clemson lights them up. I could see Sammy Watkins just running flys and deep slants on that Cuse D, catching passes in stride. Cuse was lit up against other elite receivers from NW and Penn St.

Tigs will put up 40 + , but can the Orange Men score three + Tds on Clemson? Guys only talk about Boyd and his group of weapons on offense. Don't under estimate that Tiger D. They fly to the ball and hung real tough with Bulldogs, showing no quit.

Ironically, you are almost putting more faith in Cuse than intended by playing over.

Post up what you think the score in this game will be? Me, Tigs 43-48 range, Cuse 14-20 range in scoring. So, I'll go with Clemson 45 Cuse 17.

I don't have anything on any of your picks, but thinking of playing Clemson 1X

Brandon Reddish(SU's top DB) is doubtful so that is a huge area of concern, both teams can score in a hurry but Syracuse just will not be able to go toe to toe with arguably one of the best offenses in the nation. The real place to watch is Syracuse's defensive line, the front four will need to be able to pressure Boyd to free up the LBs to go out into coverage. The game really is in Taj Boyd's hands, if he handles the many blitzes Syracuse throws at him them it will not be close.

Syracuse will be able to score points but I just do not see Terrell Hunt playing a perfect game and being able to keep pace. Syracuse has real talent but it's not quite there yet.

For the record, I got smoked when I bet against Syracuse when they played that FCS cream puff, I wasn't too upset about it lol.

Final score will be along the lines of 56-24

what tragedy happened to cinci that this dramatic kid landon is saying?

Skinsbaby · 10-03-13, 03:23 AM

OUCH! CUSE COVER BRAH

Skinsbaby · 10-03-13, 03:25 AM

Disclosure..Ran from this game hahah

Memphis is an improving team...i played them at 10.5. This game will move under 10, Memphis money coming. Memphis played UCF second half last year...Memphis off a bye, off a real nice win. Freshman qb getting more and more comfortable. UCF unltimate trap game coming off big letdown loss and with Louisville up necxt, their biggest conf game of the season. Also looking at a rainy saturday in Memphis, i see as a Memphis advantage ,anything thatbhelps slow Bortles. Good luck though!

landon12686 · 10-03-13, 09:22 AM

Not dramatic thats was how the story put it where I read it. But anyways I guess a freshman team member was killed in a car wreck after their last game and 2 other freshman teammates were hospitalized.
