    Anybody going LARGE on Clemson -2 over UGA?

    Home teams dominate college ball and Clemson is returning almost everybody from the team that beat LSU last year.

    unless you see a truly bad number or serious middling potential playing games a month ahead of time is for those with a real bankroll or morons. you would be the latter.

    Can't trust Clemson in the big games. There are some programs and coaches you just don't bet on in the big games. Clemson...and their coach are fit the bill. But good luck

    And I'm speaking from recent personal experience that. USC @ Clemson last year was the start of a very bad run for me last year.

    This game is 2 of the best teams in the country, who have been studying each other the entire offseason.

    The play in this game is too load up you're cooler, pull it over to you're lazy boy and enjoy some great football.

    Wasn't going to comment but agree with L-Kid.....

    My question would be. Why in hell would ANY bettor go large on this game.

    Love to see the reason................

    while this may be a good game to pass on...

    unfortunately the first few weeks of college football are usually extremely sloppy low scoring painful to watch football games...

    How is Georgia over rated? They have the best offense in the SEC and will arguably have the fastest front 7 they've had in years.

    because georgia plays in the SEC and everyone thinks SEC is so much better than everyone.

    BUT ... what people dont realize is this Clemson team has more talent that UGA ... they have NFL talent across the board on offense.

    Sammy Watkins gonna go HAM

    Rule #1459 in Betting College Football.

    Dabo Swinney will steal your soul.

    As long as he coaches Clemson, take the money you would have bet on Clemson and just buy Powerball tickets. You may lose, but you won't end up breaking anything.

    Too bad that no one in here plays in Vegas. I got Clemson + (not -) 3.5 on a GOY wager at the Nugget. All I need is for the ACC homers out there to drive the line up to -3 or 3.5 and I have a sweet middle.

    unfortunately there are no homers when it comes to ACC football.. lol its a pathetic conference but clemson does have real talent this season.

    i dont see this game being close.

    UGA will lose to clemson and south carolina and be out of national title contention by mid september

    All the value in college football is in the first 3 weeks.... Week 1 the value is finding teams that are undervalued/overvalued because of the name on their jersey. Week 2/3 the value is finding teams that are overvalued/undervalued due to over-reactions from their Week 1/2 performances. After that the value is sucked out of college football and it turns into essentially a coin flip

    That's ridiculous.

    There was money to be made last year, especially toward the end of the season.

    There is always money to be made every week of the season, but the fact is that the people who know what they are doing make more in the first three weeks of the season than at any other time. There are two major reasons for that. First, most games are non-conference games which means that talent is going to decide these games and not familiarity with the teams involved. Next, it will take the linesmakers and Job Pub three weeks to finally catch on as to what is happening with the teams.

    Ive always found the opposite to be true, BDQ. Through my years betting and booking, i feel like most of the bad bettors and Joe Pub win during the first few weeks of the season when alot of big favs are hitting. Once conference play starts, things get alot tougher and thats where Joe Public (along with my idiot friends) lose their shirts.
