Florida State now +9.5 ??? are you kidding me ???

[homie1975]

mariota will win the heisman this sat. do you know why heisman trophy winners historically perform so poorly in the bowl game?

- they are being paraded around everywhere and doing the interview circuit. they get distracted from what's important - the game

- the opposing team gets sick and tired of hearing about the heisman winner and how great he is so they bust their ass game planning and get sky high motivated for the matchup

Florida St has great athletes and this 4 week layoff is exactly what they need to get all pieces together

Oregon was peaking so this 4 week layoff is THE WORST thing that could have happened for them


FLORIDA STATE +9.5 all freaking day in a game they will be in until the last few mins and might even win straight up

[shady610]

Seminoles spent an entire season squeeking by. Those athletes didnt do much to change that fact. +9.5 seems correct

[raydog]

they will need a backdoor... gl homie... im sure every book will be glad to take all the fsu action the players have to offer

fwiw, you can get 10 at bm/cris for an extra nickel ... not bad considering the money fsu backers have lost betting them all season

[cankid]

seems like a lot of points

[Ballerholic]

I agree +10 is the play. But do you think it will stay/go up to +10 around game day?

[Smoke]

Do you realize how many points oregon can score per game?

Giving up only -9.5 is pretty generous if you ask me

[BChrisB]

I can see Oregon being up 10 pts in the first 7 minutes to be honest. I'm surprised the number is higher.

[hawaiianking]

Look at Florida's d-fence mariota and the Ducks will score at least 50+ they will run away with that score.

[daneblazer]

Seminoles lose a close one or win SU and Vegas erects a new casino in the games honor

[jtoler]

Interesting game.

[Book Crook]

I'm thinking I don't want to touch this one, but if you had a gun to my head...I'd lean Oregon -9.5. I just don't know if FSU can score at will like the ducks can. I don't know if they can keep up with their pace of play, and I don't think FSU's receiving core and general players are big and physical enough to really push them around and tire them out. (bully them around).

too many unknowns make this a DNT for me. I'll sure be watching it though......I might take the ducks..small.

Lol you already said that

[irishstuey]

A guy that hasn't lost a game in his career is playing. Their defense may be terrible, but oregon is far from a good defense.
I'm not going to put money against Winston not keeping this game close. Hate the guy, but how do you lay 9.5 points.
The freshman rb,cook, is going to be a star. Going to ne a big problem for oregon.

[RudyRuetigger]

all i know is somehow the sec (bama) will win

and next year we get to hear how overrated the sec is again

Alabama is overrated? Or the sec? Different story. I don't hear much argument against the sec not being the best.

2 yrs ago; herbstreet said that the backups on fla st could beat most teams. I really believe jameis has been playing with the lines all yr. All I know is that a kid i know who starts for mich was on north armour bowl. (not sure spelling) IT IS the high school game that all the bigtime kids go to.The south was loaded and it seemed like every kid was going to fla st. I believe that fla st can win the game out right.Hell mich st with no speed was in the game for 3 quarters. Fla st is going back to back .

[daneblazer]

Jameis has been dealing with an ankle injury all season too. Give him a month to get better and...

couldn't agree more!
i feel like fsu were made for moments like these...and oregon traditionally falls
either they win su or lose by less than a touchdown

[Bet10Heinekens]

Team with the ball last win the game

The last 5 years the team of the Heisman winner has won and covered their bowl game.

Dont tell that to homie, hes the self-proclaimed college football playoff expert.

What a load of shiit. Winston didn't cover last year in the National Championship, did he?

[Cabo]

my mistake, on that one, they were 9 point fave and only won by 3, I was just pointing out that the last 5 years the heisman trophy winner has at least won their bowl game.

You mean like Jameis Winston winning the Heisman last year, and then winning the National Championship?

You mean like Cam Newton winning the Heisman, and winning the National Championship?

Actually-- if you look at the last 4 Heisman winners..... Newton, Griffin, Manziel, Winston---- all played incredible in their bowl games.

[Hot Jerry]

don't worry will come back to 8 again - just wait few days !!!

Herbstreet is a fake buckeye an all he is is a pretty face that espn loves to put on tv.

he is a horrible analyst and offers very little inteligent insight.

[PaperTrail07]

Sharp Line IMO...

[BIGDAY]

Florida State lays an egg.

Oregon wins by 20+

[15805]

Line will end at Fla St +6* no weaker. Early on Fla St didn't look so good but now they have a super running back in D. Cook he'll make a big difference, he's twice the runner Williams was. D. Cook & Winston will bring the Championship to
Tallahassee again. I got them at +1040 to win it all, at that price it's stupid not to.

And you do? One of the 5 biggest losers in here. You are the guy who was going to quit the Colleges if he lost a game and stick to the pros. Well, you lost that game. What happened? You are a phony. Do NOT try to deny it.
Hwerbstreet may not be that good, but he has forgotten more than a lying two faced story teller like yourself will ever know about football.

Better just hope your Ohio state money line cashes.

It's not necessarily as bad as a bet as people are saying. A lot here have the attitude that the Buckeyes have zero chance, I think some over over estimating one side while underestimating the other.

[homie1975]

Someone look up the last 25 yrs of heisman winners who covered the bowl spread or not. I dont have time. Off memory

2013. Jameis no vs auburn. 11 pr faves
2012 johhny fb yes vs okla. 4 pt faves
2011 rg3 won by 11 over wash i think yes. 8 pt faves i think
2010 cam newton yes v oreg. -1.5 faves
2009 mark ingram yes v texas. Colt mccoy injury really helped
2008 sam bradford v fla 3 pt dog no
2007 tebow v mivh no. Fla 10 pt fave. Lloyd carr last gm
2006 troy smoth no vs fla 7 pt fave
2005 reggie bush no vs texas as 7 pt fave. Superman vy


all off memory bitches. Did u notice all faves of 7 pts or more failed to cover.

u think the defenses were fired up?

[jjgold]

I wish I have money by this game because I will unload Oregon

On paper this is a massive mismatch

By homemade line I have Oregon -17
