    Clemson never fails to slip up against one or two teams they should destroy. Every year. This seems like it could be that game. Last year it was Tech and NCST. This year they hardly beat Auburn who is by far the worst team in the SEC besides maybe UK. That being said, I'm still taking Clemson in this game.

    Check the history on Clemson when they play at Wake Forest and Wake Forests record on Thursday nights.

    Your point is well taken, but on the other hand this year Wake Forest is simply terrible, on the level of Boston College, and in fact Boston College has a better offense.

    Clemson last year didn't just slip up against Tech - they got outcoached. Steele couldn't stop the option. The NC State game didn't matter because they had already won their trip to the conference championship. Watkins could have played but didn't. There was a clear lack of effort. This year they still have a shot at the Sugar Bowl if they win out - so we will see if that is incentive enough to play all out.

    Clemson's defense is one of the youngest in the country but is getting better. The comparison is because of the reverse line movement on both games.

    Because last Thursday most of the posters who were commenting on the Oregon game were saying Oregon would not cover the spread, and possibly lose the game outright to Arizona State. because the game was being played at Arizona State on a Thursday night, and because of all the line movement on the game. It is the same shit we are hearing by many on here about the Clemson/Wake Forest game. Fcuk the line movements, fcuk the Thursday night games, Fcuk where the game is being played, as it all boils down to who has the best talent, the best coaching, and who is going to step up to the plate at game time. In the case of the Clemson/Wake Forest game, Clemson has much superior talent, and is going to do exactly what Oregon did last week, come out of the gate strong, take a big lead, and never look back.

    EXACTLY! Go get that money at the pay window and quit over thinking these games, and listening to others who know little or nothing. Do your own due diligence, and go with what your research and heart tells you.

    Closing out a 12-team open parlay this week. 4 spots left. Any ML -500 or under I'd take. Clemson -410 or 1st half -320? Choices, choices.

    Or, both

    Straight bet I'd take the points, but closing out a 12-team open parlay? no way. Even if I take -500 favorites for the remaining 4 legs, it'll be $680 on a $25 bet, cuz I had a +170 in the first couple picks.

    Also took the over at -36 this Thursday morning.

    Clemson is averaging 41 points a game, so this morning I took a play for a dime on the over, as I was able to get it at -36. This is in addition to the other spread plays I posted on Clemson.

    Exactly, and I think GoBigBlue was aware of this, as he is not like many on the forum who are clueless. Looking forward to taking the stroll to the pay window with you!

    Averaging the amount of points that they do, 41 points a game is impressive enough for me, not to mention there average points in there victories, especially considering they are playing a team that is averaging only 22 points a game.
