Houston seems to be the play here what do all think is the safer bet -18 or the team over 42?

Florida Atl should have to play every game they play on Tuesday afternoon! They are so fcn bad its unbelievable! High school teams can snap the ball, catch the ball, line up correctly, etc. much better than that!

Mr Handicapable · 10-07-08, 10:28 PM

Minus 18 for me

FAU is by far the worst team i've seen on Espn this year... Even the d-3 kids know how to play "clean" football even though i won my under i hope i never have to watch football that bad again.

I like Houston -10 (half). Houston won 49-10, a game they led 35-10 at the half. UAB played a good game at Memphis but lost 33-30 in their last game. Losing close games for a bad team like UAB is bad for their confidence. I get the feeling there confidence is going to be shot against a run and shoot cougar team. Houston is 2-3 on the season after defeating East Carolina 41-24. I am anticipating HOuston to jump out to a big lead early in this game. Good luck to all the houston backers.

naw I'm gonna play Wake Forest. I'm playing both home teams tommorow. I just think that Clemson has and STILL is overvalued. On the other hand, I think this being Houston's first real home game should really fire them up even more.

Clemson steamrolled WF 44-10 in 2007. Clemson is better value as an underdog in this game. They looked really good in the first half against Maryland on Sept 27 as they led 17-6. Thanks to some bonehead penalties and special team play, Clemson gave the game away to Maryland and lost 20-17.
Meanwhile, WF looked awful against Navy and lost 24-17 at home. WF QB Skinner threw 4 interceptions in this game partly because they could not run against Navy. Clemson in the last 51 years, is 45-6-1 against WF. Clemson also won in 2006 27-17.

Clemson's has the same playmakers on offense. QB Cullen Harper (27/35 passes for 265 yards, 3 td passes and a td run against WF in 2007). RBs CJ Spiller and James Davis also return. If WF could not stop Navy from running the football, there is no way they can stop Spiller and Davis. Spiller and Davis ran for over 200 yards against Maryland.

no offense but the Navy running attack is different from Clemson's running game. Wake Forest was embarassed by Navy, but I wouldnt bet on Clemson doing the same. Maryland isn't exactly a world beater either. Heres a few trends I just saw

Clemson:

4-10 ATS against teams with a winning record (last 3 years)
8-10 ATS against conference opponents (last 3 years)

Wake Forest:

8-1 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 (last 3 years)
12-6 ATS against conference opponents (last 3 years)
5-2 ATS in October games (last 3 years)
11-3 ATS against teams with a winning record (last 3 years)

Holy ****! First game in the history of college football that two teams spent 45 minutes of the game inside each other red zone and come away with 47 points.
