SU opens +28.5

A little higher than I expected .we can cover than

 

[Ish88888]

I will wait for it to be bet up to 29.5 by the meatheads out there that don't follow cf and will just look at the school names. then i will buy 1.5 points with my guy for +31 and sit back and enjoy.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

We shouldn't be giving Clemson that many points. Lol

 

[PhatOrange]

I was thinking 17-21. Clemson has played to the level of their comp this year and not hammering people.

 

[DPCuse]

A bit surprised at the line. SU coming off a bye. Clemson off a tough game at FSU. SU on a two game win streak. D playing much better. And we played well down there two years ago.

 

[crales44]

The spread is a little high, but I really don't like the match-up of their d-line versus our o-line, or their big, vertical threat receivers versus our corners.

I think we cover, but those two ingredients could lead to a very one-sided final score in their favor.

 

[skurey]

We lose by 27 easy money

Vegas thinks the Clemson DL will kill our passing game.
I think this line is about right. I expect 56-24 type of game.

Oh the gambler in me was thinking close to that. 55-31

The Kool-Aid drinker in me says Cuse 48-45

 

[cuse309]

I can't wait to hear Dino after the game
"Somebody in Vegas, told them they were going to win by 25-30 points...it's not their fault...they didn't know..."

 

[CUSU]

It's their fault now, they knew but didn't believe

 

[tep624]

Playing them at home will be tough. I'm sure Vegas is hammering on us because of how we've performed on the road this year, specifically the Wake Forest game and the amount of penalties versus BC.

If we play like we did at WF, we'll get killed. If we play like we did at BC, we'll lose by 3 TD's probably. If we play clean, it will be closer than anyone expects it to be.

Yep.

But then the only exception was after their last big prime time win. 6 days later at Chestnut Hill on red bandana night, everyone said be careful. 56-10 later...

No one will be saying look out for Syracuse this week, not in Death Valley. Opportunity awaits. All reward, no risk (at least on the scoreboard). If we get crushed no one gives it a 2nd look.

 

[SU2NASA]

Better question, what's the money line?

Good points. (I also forgot they hammered Bc)

 

[AAM62]

I just can't see our oline holding up

 

[Deuga]

To cover a 4TD line, Clemson will need to score 56 points because one way or another in normal weather we will find a way to score at least 28. I'm skeptical Clemson can pull that off given how our D has developed. A month ago I'd easily say Clemson could score 56+, not now.

If I have a concern it's that we've got freshman playing meaningful minutes who will have never played before anywhere near 80,000. On the other hand, that's part of why you seek to play in the ACC.

 

[NKR1978]

I'm worried about the false start and their crowd noise. Next year we can beat them in the Dome, but this will be tough.

 

[Chris02M]

the way our defense has been playing since the usf game besides the blown assignments in first half vs nd i think we will hold them under 49

 

[Ish88888]

Dabo will have them on high alert after we beat VT . also , the yards we are putting up on offense along with ED's dual threat #'s. Dabo knows ED well. Thus, we should play loose and wild. Make it clear early to the Clemson defense early that we will be playing nuts and loose! i think we can put up 27-30 and if we get a few turn overs , watch out !

 

[HtownOrange]

I just can't see our oline holding up

Depends, if the Orange Offense can sting together a few first downs in the first quarter, the pace will be enough to slow down the big guys. The linemen do not recover as quickly as the rest of the team. With substitution, even the best D lines can wear down quickly. Recall that this is one of HCDB's strategies, running so many plays that the opposition is no conditioned for it.

This may be a stupid question but how would you be able to buy points on the spread?
