Dook opens -3.5

Bad teams?

NC State has 5 wins and was up 24-7 on FSU.

Maryland has 6 wins and beat Penn State on the road.

Those aren't bad teams, but they are two games we needed to - and should have - won.

NC State hadn't won an ACC game in two years until Saturday. Beating up on low-level FCS teams to get wins early in the season doesn't make you a good team.

NC State lost to FSU, Clemson, Louisville and a BC team that beat USC.

Did you expect NC State to win those games, and does it make them bad because they didn't?

NC State is terrible...you might not pay much attention to them being up in New York, but down in North Carolina their futility has been pretty regularly covered. Going two years without winning an ACC game is pretty bad. Until yesterday, their only wins this season had come against Georgia Southern, Presbyterian, South Florida, and Old Dominion.
 
Sorry - you're right. Apologies on the mis-identification. Still, if we played BC this week in Boston, we're 10 pt dogs. And everything else I said still stands.
We would open as exactly 7 point dogs at BC this Saturday. Maybe it would move higher from that number
 
As far as Duke goes, naturally I hate Dook but I have to say I do respect their football program. Cut is a class act and what he has done in Durham is nothing short of incredible. That said, I will be cheering hard for the Orange come gametime.
 
I would hate to bet against Syracuse but there is no way that line does anything but move way up.
 
I watched a lot of the Dook-Pitt game. Dook's got a really nice offense. QB is really good and got a stud WR. They will put up some points against us, on the other hand their D didn't look good against Pitt. Let's hope we get some OL back and we have a slight chance of an upset, but I'm not holding my breath.

First bets were at 5. Line has actually moved down to 3.5
 
Ok, my 24 hours of ranting is over.

Beat Duke. I can picture a scenario where, ah forget it.

I fear this is the week the defense implodes. There going to have a 'this is hopeless' moment at some point, it's inevitable. And the wrong offensive mind is coming to town to possibly exploit that. And he's bringing the worst possible WR. Anytime he's lined up against Whigham we should just call timeout. Even when we've run out, didn't stop us before.
 
We aren't beating Duke, we could beat Pitt. Like when we smacked Rutgers in 2009 when we nothing else left to play for. And, nothing against HCSS but Adazzio is a great coach. Maybe we should have listened to Rob Konrad. We aren't beating BC either

Whigham is having one of the worst seasons ever.
 
And then the bye week gets everyone back on board, we beat Pitt because they fumble 100191828 times and then we go to BC for a coin flip game

AH YEAH

At this point BC is not a coin flip game. They are much better than SU and should be at least a TD favorite.

If we beat Duke and Pitt then it will be.

If we beat Duke and Pitt... Which yeah is tough
 
I didn't say a coin flip someone else said that. AT BC means nothing and we have played much better awav vs at home. If we played bc this week we are probably 5 -6 point dog to start
AT BC after Thanksgiving could mean some badddd weather. Good for the team who's really good at running the ball… which isn't us.
 
Duke at only +3.5 seems to show that the market is not that impressed with Duke's record/opponents
 
I'm thinking I have to take Duke because god we stink lately. Our offense is bad and theirs is good. I could see our defense holding them to 28 and our offense scoring less than 17.

not to be fanhood police but if you bet against your own team not sure your a fan at all..
 
Do you know how much $ I've lost this year betting on my teams? Betting on the Giants is terrible, betting on Syracuse football is terrible. At least the Heat have covered their games so far this year. My fanhood can't be questioned, but my wallet wouldn't mind getting a boost.
