If you feel strongly, try to make your money from it.

Yeah, go for it. These guys are pros as in realists; they don't wear cheerleader skirts. Go ahead, bet against them. I hope they are wrong, but expect that they have a lot more expertise in predicting these games than you do. I think, unfortunately for us, it will be a close game.

this is a game for Clemson to MAKE a STATEMENT. To make a point that you are indeed a Nat. champ. contender.
My question is, if Nc state was playing, say.. Bama, Oregon, OSU, Stanford, LSU... would they only win by 13? ONLY??

AL probably would, but some of the others wouldn't. It still wouldn't matter when it comes to the respect we want. We need to just stomp them, and then the next team, and the next team, ..., and then we stay in the conversation. Let our talk shout it out on the field. It is hard to deny at the end of the year when the results are on the field. There is no spinning necessary when that happens.

Sounds great. Then let's do it. The proof will be in the pudding, so to speak.

You make a statement by winning the games you are supposed to win and not by the point spread.... Early in the season getting some of younger players experience on the road is more important that point spread...
most impressive win of the season so far in the ACC is still Clemson over UGa

It is not about running the score up.

The offense needs to atone for the way they started against SC State and be clicking on all cylinders. With their QB issues the defense should be able to contain them. If we are playing our A game, the point spread should be more than 13 points. Play our best, and let the points fall where they may.

You can't really play reserves with a 13 point lead---or less. Wouldn't it make more sense to try and win convincingly? Hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't think we will have the luxury of playing reserves.

Doesn't that tell you something? They don't rate us in that group. We'll see.

13 on the road on Thur night is farking HUGE!

I read somewhere that the thur night football home field advantage is one of the biggest in all of sports. Them labeling us almost a 2 TD favorite is pretty significant.

doubt anything has changed.
"Teams playing at home on ESPN Thursday night college football games have an astounding .628 winning percentage against the spread over the last five years, according to BeyondTheBets.com. Overall, home teams went 49-29 ATS. But home underdogs did even better, posting a 22-12 record for a .642 mark."

Yeah right. That's why they are experts at setting odds. Unbelievable.

13 is a large spread for a road conference game

37-24 is very conceivable. This game will NOT be 50-0 like we want to believe.

The puppy pack isn't going to like being an "underdog" (pardon the pun) at home though. That's what they get for copying our rock.

Dabo is a nice guy - and he will take a knee late in the game. Consider that when giving up a bunch of points on a Thursday night at an AWAY game to NCSU. They like to beat us there.
I can see us winning by 3 - 43, so I think the odds are in our favor to cover the 13. JMO
