Why is the line holding at around -14? What are we missing?

Is Brock better than DJU? Did we miss something on the scouting report?

The backup is thought to be no better and no worse.

FSU is at home and "desperate" and "some folks may not trust Clemson on the road"!
TBH as someone posted yesterday; "i am curious myself to see Cade take the show on the road"! So far, he has played well, "at home"!
Can he do it on the road. And, this along with some people thinking FSU will throw the kitchen sink at us has the line where it is in my opinion.

That's a good point about Cade on the road as, last year, he played much

better at home.
Last year, at home he had 14 TDs and 3 Ints. On the road and in the bowl game, he had 5 TDs and 6 INTs. His QB Rating was also 20+ points higher at home.
He's definitely greatly improved from last year, and he also has a much better group of receivers, so I think we'll be fine. I agree that it is something to watch for though.

That part about the receivers is one of the biggest and most critical differences. Last year we could not reliably get separation, and when they couldn't get separation the also couldn't go get 50/50 balls.
FSU still has a collection of highly talented players, but I think their morale is in the ####### at this point.

This may end being a home game as far as fans go. A friend I was in the Navy with says he was given 3 tickets to the game Saturday night because the season ticket holders are so disgusted at FSU this season that they are giving their tickets away and he isn't even going and he lives in Tallahassee. i told him to make sure he brings a book.

I thought it might go to 17. Maybe later in the week we get a small change.

Should have been much closer without those red zone turnovers

Because the bettors are equally divided at the current odds. Give the points.

Even if we get a big lead, Vegas doesn't trust Clemson to hold that big of lead by end of game.

Generally speaking on the road with a smaller travel roster the back ups to the back ups won’t be a factor. The biggest factor is can Cade pick up the difference in our white jerseys and not be looking for the dark colored targets like the last three weeks.

14 points on the road is a pretty good spread. We have not shown the ability to

score at will against a GOOD defense yet. And, regardless of their record, there are still some elements left of the team that went undefeated last year during the regular season. I, personally don't care if we even cover the 14 point spread, just get out of Tallahassee with a WIN. It ain't been all that long ago that place was TOUGH for us to win at.

Not a betting expert but Vegas adusts odds based on where they need money.

So my guess is they are not getting enough action on one side or the other of the bet.

FSU is ready to quit. Jump out early and this will get really ugly. Much greater chance this is a complete blowout than it's a close game in the fourth quarter.

FSU can't run the ball though. They are averaging 65 rushing yards per game and 2.5 ypc. Their o-line stinks.

Remember, sports books are more about predicting the betting than forecasting who will win and by how much.
Ideally, the spread results in equal bets on both sides.

All the better's have had time to review our game. They have seen that Dabo plays 100 players.
Taking FSU and the points is about the same as taking Clemson to cover. That will only change to keep the money even.
