    Bet The Farm: Duke +27
    Coming out of retirement briefly to post this play. This line is ridiculous. Duke has been a good team this year and Florida State just lost their star running back, Chris Thompson.

    Go big boys.

      RB's are overrated and easily replace. Never think about the name, think about production. His replacement, James Wilder Jr, was rated #1 overall @ his position as a recruit. I trust he can handle the load.

                probably, but fsu could win by 22 (which is a lot) and duke backers get paid with ease.

                  duke can pick up big yardage and score. maybe OVER is a good play. and i understand the top 5 or 6 recruiting schools having amazing talent but you can't just replace a guy who's been incredible so far (if i'm understanding the situation correctly).

                  i like duke too alot. skeptics might point out stanford game though.

                    If I was going to play this game, I most certainly would take Duke and all those points. Duke as others have pointed out is a much much improved football team, and has a good quarterback who can put points on the board.

                      alot = 28+. FSU plays really well at home. They had a ton of mistakes, atrocious officiating, and still managed to blow Miami out. Duke will actually be on let down alert after last weeks huge game for them. Duke has never beaten FSU and the closest they've ever gotten is 19 points.

                        I think Duke will score and few and I KNOW FSU will put up some; over 57 for me. As always, GL to all with this one !

                            you can never be really confident on games. obv 56% is exceptional win rate and so much is beyond the teams' control anyway.

                            but i sure would be unhappy having to play FSU or the UNDER so that tells me they are good value.

                              Thompson could be playing and I would still play this big, just an added bonus that he is gone.

                                FSU has one of the best defenses in college, does duke even score a td in this game?

                                  James Wilder Jr, Lonnie Pryor, & Devonta Freeman will all make up for the absence of CT4 just fine. I would be very careful on fading FSU this weekend, I see this game playing out like the BC/Wake Forest games..

                                  Duke's wins: FIU, North Carolina Central, Memphis, WF, Virginia, UNC.. Tell me who wouldn't be bowl eligable with that schedule

                                  Just my opinion though, I would just advise not to go too big. BOL either way

                                        Huge letdown spot for Duke. FSU has played a slightly tougher schedule but still has huge advantages in the O and D numbers: 520 to 415 ypg on O and 226 to 396 on D. FSU outgaining opps by 296 yds per game; Duke outgaining opps by 19.

                                          Been watching this game all week and just about to go in till I heard "bet the farm" OUCH ... I made FSU -17 (much lower) they are more than capable of covering but Their schedule has been very easy so far . Moreover Duke has been improving year after year and I think this is a big game for the devils . I bet Miami vs FSU last week on the moneyline as 21 point dogs before finding out that I was missing my starting QB but kept the play . I am NOT bog on FSU at all , might even go small on Duke ML ...

                                              On FSU pretty heavy at -14. Teased like crazy. Even though FSU has perfectly capable running backs, I couldn't take the spread without Thompson. Duke is the right play at 27 but I dunno about a farm.

                                                              UNC is my team and yeah Duke beat us last week, but it's a rivalry game and if anyone thought Duke was good because of that they are mistaken. Never bet the farm on stinky teams, ever.
