Can Clemson really cover 38.5 against Temple?

Miami didnt cover 42 against them. But temple does have a hard time scoring.

Miami avg. 29.8 pts, Clemson 25.7.

The question you need to ask Fabric is whether Temple can score 1 TD. If they can score 1 TD they'll cover. That's all it's going to take. Temple is as bad as it gets.

Personally, spreads like this are worth staying away from. The only time I'll take a look is if it is a home underdog getting this many points like when Cal played NMSU and they were giving 29 or so.

If I were you just lay off this game or make a small play on Temple.

Really only way to go. Never lay that many points.

good advice

They will probably cover the 1st half,
Bowling Green I believe beat Temple 72-7 or something like that
Miami didnt beat them that bad b/c they probably to there starters out
Bowling Green just wanted to beat the snot out of them.
I would bet the 1st half before the game spread.

Miami could have easily rolled up a 100 on Temple....Wicsonsin and BG put like 70 easy on Temple. But Miamia started playing student managers in the 2nd half to take it easy on Temple.

You never know with these games.

If the score started Temple 38.5, Clemson 0, Clemson would win the game. They don't care about winning by that much though, so they may not cover.

forget this game then.
