Another sweep of the card yesterday, today going with:

10 Units USF +6
10 Units USF/Clemson Under 41

Both of these teams are hideous offensively. I dont expect much scoring, although these are the games that somehow sneak over, usually.

I dont care about Daniels and his status, I dont care about Ellington. This is a play on the coaching staff of USF and against the coaching staff of Clemson. I dont care about the players taking the field here, they are negligible.

I am playing against Dabo Swinney and him being so over his head, its ridiculous. I will take Holtz in a big game just about any time and any place against Swinney, even in his own backyard. Low total means Vegas isnt expecting points, so the 6 seem generous.

10 Units FSU +3

I have the best player on the field here, but I am betting against my man-crush on Spurrier. I think Ponder shows up in a big way tonight. This is the healthiest he has been in a while, the time off for him was great.

I also get to bet against Garcia, who is so jekyll and hyde, its unbelievable. He is the most inconsistent college player I have ever seen - BJ Daniels not withstanding. Since FSU is the best team in the nation at getting to the QB, I see this giving SC some fits. Garcia makes a few forced errors and FSU plays with good field position.

A bit nervous about Lattimore and Jeffery, but there are going to be another 20 players on the field any time they are. I am hoping that evens things out a bit.

Not sure about the other games, might post later, if not, good luck and have a great new year peoples!!

Sizzle doesn't the FSU defense concern you here? They have to stop the run and force Garcia into some bad throws. Va Tech picked them apart at will in the acc game. Spurrier has been bad in bowls recently , but hasn't he owned the noles in his career and been able to study the acc game tape .....don't you think he will be able to expolit the mismatches

As for the other side of the ball , FSU scores but isn't the USC defense's body of work over better than the fsu d?

unless garcia implodes , i can't see the noles winning this game 

look for the sec to take one back from the acc tonight

good luck RJ

I have the team that gets to the QB the most in the country, Spurrier loves to pass. A more consistent QB and yeah, I am a bit worried about getting exploited, but not really with Garcia.

I dont expect Jeffery or Lattimore to be shut down, but I think FSU is a bit more athletic all around and it should help them.

Cant fault anyone for backing South Carolina here, they are very attractive.

GL.

thx sizzle

i just feel Spurrier will want to win this game and i think the defense keeps them in it where the run doesn't have to be abandoned and unlike that Aurburn game Garcia won't be under tremendous pressure to force thorws from behind

I know fsu will make some plays , but , my guess is that unless FSU is + in the t/o game they can't win this game imo

thx for the response and g/l

congrats sizzle on fsu

gracia imploded just like you called 3 picks (although 1 was more or less a punt) so fsu won the t/o battle 3-1 , they also recovered a key fumble on the kickoff after sc got it to 19-17 , that was a big recovery

obviously losing latimer on the opening drive , out all the heat on garcia and it showed in the 1st half , sc could just not get going

i thought the sc defense played pretty good in the 1st half and didn't like the ball coach going for it at the end of the 1h on 4th and only dow 6-0 at that point , bad choice gave fsu ball near mid-field!

like Miss St , Mich St , penn st and Wiscky tomorrow as well as the conn in the late game , any thoughts or just wait till tomorrow?

GL today buddy
