Well... biggest game of the year... last game of the year. I thought spread was too high to begin with.
Can't believe 7 means something to some books? Has to be the popularity of Alabama? Books must be satisfied with the play their getting?
I guess it's easy to lay 100 for 105? Seems like a no brainer to a Bama fan?
I just thought all books would go to -6.5 right about now. Maybe even -6.
True gift if you can get Clemson +7 -110Comment -
as much as I hate to say it, Bama a better team.Comment -
Nothing worse than bama fans...will be rooting for clemsonComment -

CLEMSON vs ALABAMA 8 30 ET NCH Arizona
Stage set for SEC vs ACC matchup of 2 heavyweights in the nation this year. Both teams are on a roll with Bama having recovered since a loss at Ole Miss early and Clemson having run the table.
The money is geared toward Bama from public, especially two reputed Vegas joints one of them garnering more than 82% on the Tide. Now listen odds do not win games they are just a starting marker for taking action. I have watched both teams closely the entire year and I can say these 2 juggernauts are more than deserving to be in this spot.
I will say this the emergence of the dual threat QB in the college game has shaped programs all over the land and Clemson is certainly no exception to this. Similar to the way Manziel's freakishly athletic tools were maximized at A&M Clemson has turned Watson loose and the former 5-star recruit has led them to the national title game. In Bama's losses to A&M and Ole Miss they went up against spread attacks led by mobile QBs who could throw. Watson has great touch on his delivery having completed almost 70% on the year. He has excellent field vision and can turn broken plays into a big play with his scrambling.
Bama's weakness has been defending big plays down the field. They've done a good job lately but I look down the list of Bama's opponents recently and cannot find many respectable QBs other than Cook, Prescott, B. Allen, and perhaps Dobbs who torched them for some big plays and escaped a narrow loss. All year their defense has been able to hold up because of the lack of elite QBs they've faced and the mobile ones they have played were ineffective passers to say the least. Clemson has speed on the edges and read option/ play action fakes could set up opportunities for Watson to attack Bama deep. I expect them to go after that secondary.
On the other side Coker has had is ups and downs but has had it relatively easy having been bolstered by their dominant D that has given their O-unit freedom to play keep-away ball wearing defenses thin and hitting them with big plays as the game wears on. However expect Coker in this game to be tested against a big, stingy front 7 that will focus on slowing Henry down early and put pressure on Coker to convert 3rd downs. Venables runs an array of pressure/disguise packages Coker will be forced to throw against and Clemson has enough playmakers in the back four to contain Bama.
The Tigers have played with a swagger all year and it was uncanny in the way this unit adjusted and dispatched Oklahoma in the semifinal against a very elite dual-threat QB in Mayfield. They do not have to worry about that sort of electric playmaking this time around. I expect Bama to be exposed at QB and in the secondary as Clemson slows Bama down by stacking the box and getting Coker into critical conversion downs. I had this Clemson squad as a possible darkhorse contender in the preseason and they have fulfilled that by a wide margin. Much respect to Saban and Bama but the real test of their season is upon them.
Ride the Tigers here boys, just as I cashed the likes of Texas vs USC as a dog over +200 years ago in a thriller, I am going to go for it here with Clemson and Deshaun Watson. GL
