Cuse -3 to start

[Ithacaorange]

I bet people fall all over themselves to take wake and the points, since we can't complete a meaningful forward pass

 

[Ithacaorange]

If any of you bet on this game I will hunt you down.

Stop betting on our games you clowns.

Haha - I never do, I was referring to the general gambling public

I agree. I could see this line going off at EVEN on gameday

 

[JeremyCuse]

Honestly as an SU fan I never bet on Syracuse unless I take them to cover a parlay or something like that but If I was a regular college football fan I would bet a good chunk on Wake. Our offense makes a dumpster fire look like shangra la right now.

 

[anomander]

That's about where I thought it would be. I was assuming -4. 4 points for home field, i thought these 2 schools were about even.

 

[Crusty]

Based on the trend line, I am surprised it isn't wider. Wake did a pretty good job with Miami's running game which is at least as good as ours.:

Edit: Oops I am so used to being a dog I missed that we are favored!

 

[Whitey23]

Wake all day

 

[TheCusian]

I think we win. But the line will be headed in Wakes direction all day.

 

[ImperialOrange]

Wake will be spent from their late game collapse vs Miami. Cuse scores first and wins going away.

You have no idea how happy this would make me - I will be making the trip for game and desperately want to see a W !

Ithaca you have season tix? Game is Billy HUGE to wash ga tech away and get back to .500 with a winnable at maryland game. READY FOR SATURDAY NOW!

I assumed Wake Forest would be favored. I am now hopeful that Vegas knows something I don't.

They haven't been wallowing in the GT game for two weeks. It's gone from hopeful after NC State to Grob era depression around here.

I think we match up well with this WF team and believe we'll straighten some things out for the game. We still have a decent line, great RB, and a great front 7. I think we're on par with everyone but FSU. If we can get just 25% of the THunt from the Tulane game and the running game from NC State we can win 3 of the next 5.

Lets call it the Ryan Norton effect. Money has flowed Orange all week and now the line has CLIMBED to 4 and 4.5 at most books.

Do not Iheart! Used effort wife and kids, now I cherry pick 2-3 games per yr to come up to from westchester county, looking forward to Saturday to see what this team is made of.

Little surprised by that

 

[anomander]

Little surprised by that

i'm not. these guys know what they are doing. oddsmakers don't base lines on snapshots. when the average person sees SU losing 56-0, and WF hanging with Miami, they think WF is the bet. These super computers also factor in Syracuse's scoring at home, and WF losing to UL Monroe. big picture

Line keeps climbing. Interesting take from the wake board:

"A lot of sharp players are on Cuse. Technically, Cuse is an automatic play. They are coming off a bye, and before that a blow-out loss. So, Cuse will give its best effort tomorrow.

WF is playing the second of back to back road games and is off a deflating loss. So, teams in that spot often fail to give their best effort. As a result, the line is now up to 5. Believe me the casual bettor is not moving the line on the Cuse/WF game.

At this point in this season, handicapping games is really difficult as the line-makers rarely put out bad lines by the end of October. Some professional handicappers stop betting college football now as it is really hard to gain an edge. So, now handicappers look for situational edges like the one Cuse is in this week.

FWIW, sharp players pushed the Miami line from 23 to 26 last week, and they got buried. So, the fact that the sharp action is on Cuse does not mean WF can't win, but this is a tough spot for WF."

Same thing happened with Clemson. Sharp money was on Clemson.

Only problem is even sharp bettors goals are to hit about 54% of their bets.

Even though we're not playing with "house money" tomorrow afternoon, it feels like a "must-win" to me - if we want to see a bowl game this year.

Looks like we will kick off a 4.5 fav.
