Win Total O/U Set At 3

[FrancoPizza]

bet the farm...the house..your mother -in-law as we go 8-4

I’d bet the mother in law for sure

On Draftkings. +110/-140.

We should know if we're going over that number after the first week of the season. I would be very surprised if we aren't road dogs at Ohio. That might be the biggest game of Dino's tenure.

Saw this, downloaded the app & was ready to place a bet but can't because I'm in NY. I think we double that prediction!

 

[TheCusian]

I don’t. It basically says we are going to be last in the ACC. I hope they are wrong. I can’t take another really bad season. My wife may have to talk me away from the ledge of the Bank of America building.

I came into the post thinking we’d be pegged last by the media, Vegas, other ACC coaches. That’s not a surprise. We stunk last year (the reasons matter - but the record remains). What I didn’t know or had given much thought to, was the rest of our division having mediocre expectations. It‘s probable that we get better and if the gap isnt crazy, we have a better shot at exceeding expectations.

 

[TexanMark]

We will have a huge clue the first game...it will be cemented in by the second game.

2-0 easy money
1-1 Hmmm still pretty confident to get to at least 4 wins
0-2 Send Dino a few good CNY realtors to visit

 

[Chip]

We’ll be at a push after week 3.

 

[skurey]

We win 3 exactly

 

[AAM62]

I’d wait and see how training camp unfolds. Doubtful that moves if the team stays relatively healthy.

 

[UpstateSM]

And doubled going into Clemson

 

[Newhouser]

I would take the over though I don't think Rutgers, Ohio and Liberty will all be W's.

 

[Louie and Bouie]

Cue the easy money posts. Fandom is a helluva drug.

 

[dollarbill44]

3 is stupid money. I have it at 11.

 

[storange]

I’m taking 100$ and betting NCAA futures on a Syracuse NC. You may know the story of Leicester City.

Outside of Clemson, the rest of division is kind of weak. 6 for NC State? 6.5 for Wake and Louisville?

I feel better looking at this

Yeah our side of the Division is less scarier than it looked in 2016/17. We really need to start beating teams like Pitt/Louisville/NC State more frequently

Yup, the way I see it, our path to success is to schedule OOC such that 4 wins is a realistic possibility, and 3 is almost a given.

That means that we have some margin for error in the conference schedule. Only need to play well 2 or 3 times and a bowl is secured. Even better when it looks like it's not a murderer's row in conference to contend with.

Next season's schedule lines up perfectly.

We all thought it was free money last year when it was 3.5. There’s a reason the Vegas lights never turn off.

but I will be betting the over lol

Vegas also had the Knicks winning 22 games this year. They were only off by 19. Sometimes they miss. I'm taking the over.

I’m with ya... I’m sending it

vegas doesnt care. obviously like in the knicks situation.. if they had a ton of people playing the over they would have moved the number higher. the same for SU.. if people start taking the over they will move it to 4-5.. if people dont take it then they dont care if su wins 4 or 11 it doesnt cost them any more money. if all the money is on one side they wont be leaving it at 3..

Yep. Vegas always wins more than they lose. People forget that there are people that will take that under bet after our 1 win season (I'll be honest, I'm a little surprised it isn't set at 4 as a baseline, but whatever, the money may take it there).

It is 4 at other places. Also, that line at 3 by the OP isn't an even 110 on both sides of the bet. Its weighted.

I'm not a gambler, aren't lines set to get people betting? In other words, Vegas is setting the line as a teaser not what they think a team will do.

Right - but they want action on both sides of the line. So it ends up being a pretty fair gauge.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

I would bet over but man I am not all that confident. Have to have better O Line and QB play for anything over 2-3 wins.

 

[721Comstock]

Right - but they want action on both sides of the line. So it ends up being a pretty fair gauge….

… of what they think the public perception is.

In an ideal world, Vegas wants equal action on both sides of the line, so the losers pay the winners, and they keep the vig.

Lines are set to try to entice that roughly equal betting.

 

[upperdeck]

all the line shows is that public perception for the team this year is pretty low coming off 1 win.
