FSU opens -4.5….

You can't reference Jacksonville State and ignore Notre Dame. Is Jacksonville State's defense better than them too?
No, but are you just going to ignore the fact that since that game they have scored 17, 14 and 23?

I'm not ignoring anything nor am I cherry picking anything.

But what makes you think Syracuse with a top defense will make them look so good? Is it just a feeling with no basis in reality?
 
Is that a real #? Serious question - I don’t gamble.
In general, the “sharps” make money in a world at the tiniest margins. If we had the ability to go back and look at how teams performed ATS when late money came in on the team we’d find it’s a coin flip. So, in general, late line movement means nothing. Some pretend it does because it’s fun to talk about.

I never said it would. Where did you see that I did? I'm not drawing any conclusions about this game. Both teams have too many question marks.
 
I’m not sure how anyone in here can not be nervous about this game.

this is the classic trap game for Syracuse that we always struggle with.

we will know within the first 10 minutes of this game how it is going to go
 
I just hope we don’t get exposed today. I’m worried that FSU will shut down our running game and they run wild against us. Liberty started to have some success running in the second half last week. FSU still has speed. Hopefully, they continue to turn the ball over.

Apologies, I think I misunderstood who I was replying too.
 
This is maybe the worst FSU team in decades. I think they have pieces for sure but they aren't a good team. We need to come out and punch them in the nose w a long Tucker drive and then see what they're made of.
FSU 2018 under Taggart would lose to this FSU team. This game worries me - they are better than 0-4. Just need to stop them from gaining confidence.

They had a couple long runs in the second half, but since Syracuse had the lead they were playing off the line a bit, once it got close they started to buckle down again in the 4th quarter as liberty only ran for 33 yards in the 4th. 10 of that was one run from Willis and Milton will not be a running threat thank goodness.

Plus traveling to go play in almost 90 degree weather against a team with better talent.
 
I have to wonder if someone is hurt that we don’t know about. If this doesn’t go well early, it might turn in to a 30-13 FSU win.
Do you think those bettors have a direct line to the coaching staff to know who is hurt? They are simply operating under the assumption that SU was 1 - 10 last year and are just as bad this year.

They usually have inside information from people close to the programs

"Classic trap game?" Is there really such a thing for a team coming off a horrendous 1-10 season, which was preceded by a very disappointing/underachieving 5-7 season? And, where two of their 3 wins have come against very inferior/JV-esque type squads.

IMO, anyone that falls into this line of thinking based upon the aforementioned, etc., has indeed been trapped, trapped by more or the same gamut of excuses.

I think people just saw GS stat line vs Liberty and like the home team to shut down our RB. FSU hasn’t thrown in the towel yet it’s Oct 2.

I think we have a shot if our OC calls some pass plays in running downs but Sterling is awful and I have yet to see him call a good game common sense tells me play calling Plays into FSUs hands and what should be a close game isnt. Hope I am wrong.

Uhhhhh…okay.

Trap refers to a game where you feel like you should win ( we are 3-1 and they are 0-4) and the fan base feels it should be a win.

But Syracuse does something to lose the game and we fall to a team that is 0-4

Yea trap game is if this is us going to 0-4 Wake Forest with undefeated FSU at home week after.

The name of the opponent still means something.
