Florida State is favored, on the road, at night, with a freshman QB, in Death Valley?

[Louisvillekid1]

Lkid if the point total opens in the low 60s would you consider the over?

I'm not sure,

FSU doesn't have much of a pass rush, I think Clemson D shows up

Hard to say. FSU hasn't played anyone. Literally.

Maryland was ranked in the top 25 before we hung the most lopsided beating in the history of the AP on them. Maryland is 5-1 despite losing their first string QB.

[JabooFootball]

I also think this might be the game where people finally see what Jameis can do with his legs.

LOL, yeah Maryland was def a top 25 team in actuality

How many losses do they have besides FSU

HINT- Its the number of wins temple has

I have no idea what youre trying to prove but if its that lousiville has played tougher teams than fsu im sorry youre smoking crayons. the fact of the matter is Louisville has played FIU (no wins against an FBS school), Temple (no wins at all), Eastern Kentucky(no wins against an FBS school)

Youre full of hot air pal.

[Louisvillekid1]

Guys Louisville has one of the toughest schedules in the nation.

The Traffic in the state of Kenutcky is a very overlooked handicapping aspect.

[t-wizzle]

Maryland never should have sniffed the top 25

[Big Bear]

this is almost an auto-bet clemson for me.

But this line is puzzling to me. I would have though Clemson would
be laying points here...

honestly i think Clemson either wins a fairly close game 3-10 point victory or they
get blown out.

[Louisvillekid1]

LeBron will be attendance,

Just watched Tajh Boyd Interview on CFB Daily

Just zero chance I could bet FSU here

[King000]

Clemson Alumni here...The Home team has won this matchup since 2003 except 2006 when Clemson won in Tallahasse...

[King000]

Run for his life?

Idk Clemson is generally terrible defensively when playing against a mobile qb.

[King000]

I'll be shocked if Lebron is in attendence but he did mention it on twitter

[M.W.]

Clemson was +14.5 at FSU last year. Both teams were ranked in the top 10.

Thank you for making an intelligent point.

[CoachJB]

Clemson is the play

[TexasJayhawk]

FSU has had one of the softest schedules in the country (#120 according to Football Outsiders). Not saying Clemson's schedule has been ferocious (#77) but they did beat a healthy Georgia...
Just because the AP ranked Maryland #25 for one week doesn't mean Maryland was the 25th best team in the country. They're usually pretty off the mark.

[jjgold]

Florida State has much better talent in Clemson

I would not lay the points but Florida state should win out right

[Reload]

Going with Clemson here. Hard for me to take the dog when they are not favored as the "higher ranked" team, but this is "Death Valley" we're talking.

[Demonata]

Clemson all the way. At home and already beat Georgia who I feel is better than Florida State. Wrong team favored here.

[YungCiroq]

FSU -3... they will dominate Clemson

[Tommy Karate]

whenever lines like this make no sense (and several including me are scratching their heads) go against what you want to take. clemson +3 at home is trap city imo....if this were a soft line, wiseguys would have hit it towards a PK....its gone from 2.5 to 3. if i didnt have a rule against road fav's in college i would be on fsu. prob a 1 point fsu win..ha

under is where im going assuming the public pounds the over on ABC primetime

I understand reasoning for the under but just wanna point out florida state had 3 NFL first rounders on D last year and 5 or 6 picks overall and the game sailed over last years total and this years one. Florida State's secondary is young and exploitable. FSU's O-line is improved so I think they will neutralize clemsons pass rush and allow Jameis time to throw. The number is high, but these teams can score. Hell, FSU covered the o/u against maryland single handedly in 3 quarters.

Great analysis. I like the over too. FSU got the over with 2 scores by the 2nd stringers too lmao. Not taking action though. Will be stressful enough rooting on the Noles.

[BiffTFinancial]

Taking Clemson +3 is liking hooking up with a girl who tells you that she's really itchy. It could end up fine, but it's not a good idea.

[thetrinity]

id feel much better about laying 10 with fsu at home

cant wait to hear what musberger says u know hell bring up fsu being favored during this one

[t-wizzle]

I'm starting to like FSU here. Books have made a statement with this line. Early sharp money is on the Noles.

[JabooFootball]

Currently trying to find, and if i cant find, compile a decade long history of FSU ATS on college gameday games... not because i think such a hokey stat would be indicative of the games outcome (although theres a 50% chance i could claim it did and act sharp like some people in the forum) but because i've got nothing to do tonight. This is what happens when I dont take action for a night.

[thetrinity]

fsu covers IMO, not too crazy about it tho

zero line movement to prove that

Look again.

line has stayed the same with the slight majority on Clemson.......

good catch, does Pinny have consensus numbers? Just asking. Either way, that line move isn't much to go on. I can ALMOST GUARANTEE 40+ percent are on FSU

I think most rec bettors are on or are going to be on Clemson. It will probably be close to split though come Saturday. I think most sharp money is on FSU.
