These guys who set odds this early know stuff.

Although, there could be a lot of money on Clemson. Seems we've been favored up till now.

On the BC game the '- points' is on Clemson which means giving BC points. On the SC game the '- points' is on SC, which means giving Clemson points.

UGA will come in with perhaps the best offense in the country. Let's say we are even on the line of scrimmage, both ways. Running back: a big plus for UGA.
Wide receivers: even (they have two all-american tight ends and brought in the number one JC receiver in the country---6'5" and fast. Who do we have that can cover him? Defensive secondary: Definite edge to UGA. We are weak there. Quarterback: Even. Their quarterback is said to be one of the greatest to ever play at UGA. How do we win this game? Have an incredobe pass rush, somehow stop the run, and have linebackers who can cover those great tight ends coning across the middle. Tall order. I think our only chance is to out-score them. IM'm hopeful, but this game really scares me.

uGAY is a 3.5 favorite?


Jul 1, 2013, 11:56 AM

That one is about keeping the betting money even. When you bet Vegas you don't bet against the bookies but the other gamblers.

I'd say these will change over the coming months so if you want one team or the other at these odds you'd better jump on the bet now. Watch how they change.

Favored at the dead cockroach.

Vegas doesn't understand Clowney plays all 22 positions for the coots.

And special teams, too. Can't forget st.

Did they have that the other way around at first and corrected it? I usually have better attention to detail than that.

Fla. State and Carolina are favored. Hell, I love it. I wish each of them were favored over us by at least 14. That's when Clemson plays its best football. UGA should be favored over us by at least 14. Then, we may indeed win!

The coots are favored.


Jul 1, 2013, 12:53 PM

It's USC -4.5 or Clemson +4.5 The Dawgs are also favored.

You can easily confirm this from outside sources. Here's a link to one:

I'm glad they are favored. I hope they get totally swell-headed. Believe me, it will benefit us.

I know we play at SCar, but...


Jul 1, 2013, 12:54 PM

Georgia is three times the team that they are. Yet they're favored a additional point over us? That will change after we take down UGA and then mercy-kill the rest of our schedule before them.

Furthermore, only 2 points over FSU? Come on. Without EJ "How the H3ll did I go in the 1st Rd" Manuel, and a severely depleted D, they don't stand a chance in the Valley. Their secondary is probably the best part of their team, but good luck stopping our wide outs. Tajh will have all day to throw, and they'll have to respect our severly underrated running game too.

The general rule of thumb is that you get 3 pts for playing


Jul 1, 2013, 12:57 PM

at home, but some home field advantages are worth even more than that, and I'm sure Vegas has their own numbers for such adjustments.

Anyway, just using the 3pt rule you would get these lines playing on a neutral field:

UGA -6.5 vs Clemson
SC -1.5 vs Clemson

The first couple of games of the year are the ones that


Jul 2, 2013, 10:19 AM

you a better chance of winning against Vegas. As the year goes teams improve and Vegas improves. I am a DIE hard Clemson fan but bet with my head and I do not see a 4 point victory by UGAy. I think it was 2 years ago UGAy was picked to win it all and got beat by Boise and then lost to the dirtpeckers before they got back on track. UGAy has been a slow starter for the last couple of years. I am not knocking the Dawgs just stating a fact.

Re: I know we play at SCar, but...


Jul 1, 2013, 10:11 PM [ in reply to I know we play at SCar, but... ]

You really underestimate UGA. If we beat them, we will have beaten one of the top 5 teams in the country. We are a team with talent, but major question marks at running back and in in the defensive secondary. I hate to say it, but I think we lose this game, maybe by a big margin. But, I hope I'm dead wrong, realize that anything can happen. Clemson can win this game with a A+ effort. We'll have to outscore them.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They lost 8 ( i think) def starters from last season and had


Jul 1, 2013, 11:05 PM

another suspended for our game. They have question marks too. And I'm not worried about our RB situation unless they get fumbleitis like they did at GT 2 years ago. We don't need an elite back or a huge bruiser in this system, Hot Rod is a fine fit.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That game @ Syracuse is a major trap game


Jul 1, 2013, 2:12 PM

We owe them a serious whipping for what they did to us in the gator bowl. I sat through that shameful performance...UGH.

My cousin went to Syracuse and playing in the carrier dome is tough. That place is hot and LOUD!! Syracuse has been getting better the last few years and is a decent team now (although they lost Ryan Nassib).

QB and HC both left. I think it will be much easier to

After reading all these posts about gambling odds, I am sure of one thing. I would love a poker game with you guys.

Re: Football Update: Vegas Odds for every Clemson game and BCS title


Jul 2, 2013, 9:33 AM

UGA and USuC should be favored IMO. What have we done to convince anyone otherwise??? NOTHING. And FSU should be a 'pick-em' IMO.

I'm still counting on several suspensions for UGA - we still have 60 days. :)

That said - I think we win ALL THREE of those games, but we will let some underdog-team beat us. I'm beginning to think that Syracuse will be that team. They beat the ^&*( out of UL last season, and UL was #13. It can easily happen to us. And of course, the GT game is always a crap-shoot. Wish us luck in that one.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Very tempted to put a C-Note up on the season.


Jul 3, 2013, 12:10 AM

I've spent that on alcohol in one night, which was nothing but downside.

What's the deal with Miami in this year's ACC Championship game?

Media bias and the chance of more than 2 unbeatens is the wild card, imo.
