Thoughts on Clemson v FSU line
Oct 7, 2013, 1:26 PM

What do you guys think the line for this game will open at? The media/Espn is really high on Jameis & the Noles - I'm guessing it will open around FSU + 1 or so or maybe even a pick'em. I'm hoping they make us a home dog though!

Sounds about right, maybe FSU -1.5. That's just the way

Vegas rolls with us it seems in these types of games.

A little insight to the way Vegas sees this one:
Oct 8, 2013, 2:52 PM
|

FSU was -24 AT BC
BC is +24 AT CLEMSON
That means Vegas should like FSU at our place by about a Field Goal. That's my prediction.

That's plausible. I just don't think betting money is sold

on us. If FSU were to get points going into our game, I would think their side would fill up quickly and screw up the balance sheet. Considering how much money is likely to be placed on a Top 10 matchup with title implications, it just seems like FSU would get the nod to keep it more even. Add in the fact that FSU is fresh off a 63-0 drudging of a Top 25 MD (whether the scoreboard tells the full story or not), and we are likely going to only teeter at the spread line against what appears to most as a vastly inferior BC squad, the public is likely going to be all over FSU on this one. FSU -3 is actually sounding closer to reality.

Pick 'em or Clemson -3 for home field.

I would LOVE for us to be chosen as the underdog though.

I'm with you, I'm definitely hoping we are a home dog for several reasons. First, for a little extra chip on our guys shoulders to make them even more motivated. Secondly, so l can double down on Clemson money line

if we are the underdog...

or fsu is favored in this game then it's as simple as this: we would have no business being ranked higher in any poll. I'm no gambler but if you apply any sort of logic to the equation what almost everyone in the country is saying is that Clemson is a better team hense the rankings as they are.

don't run Vegas. Rankings won't be a factor in the line.

If it were at FSU, it would be
Oct 8, 2013, 2:10 PM

FSU-3
At Clemson, Clemson -3
It could be plus or minus 1.5 but likely will stay in that area. No higher than Clemson-5, doubt FSU will be favored.
All of this could change depending on what happens this week though.
