Been a lifelong Tiger fan and have really missed the Danny Ford glory days when the players were feed free at Mac's Drive In and Ford grabbed the masks of players that were not getting it done. The Tigers have been underachievers for so many years and have disappointed me time after time over the last 10 years. For some reason, I think this is the year the mend the fences. The have the pre-season player of the year QB Cullen Harper back to combine with 2 future 1st round RB's in James Davis(Thunder) and C.J. Spiller(Lightning). The secondary may be the nation's best with Michael Hamlin leading the way. The question mark is on the O-Line where we last 3 starters. However, most of the second string got major playing time last year. Add that to the #1 recruit on defense in DeQuan Bowers starting at DE and the Tigers just may have the magic to repeat the glory year of 1981!!! If the Tigers beat Bama, you heard it hear first they will be in the Title Game.

GL this year Clemson, I truly don't see them beating Alabama though.
I have never disliked Clemson but it seems they are perrenial underachievers. Like you said, maybe this is your year. Aug 30 will say alot.
If they do beat Alabama, I wouldn't mind seeing them go all the way to the title game. You do have a relatively easy schedule after the Tide. Nov 1 and 8 (BC and FSU) are both on the road though.
Good luck, Bama

Hey I loved Clemson last year. They made me a lot of money and that offense with Harper, Davis & Spiller and those two receivers is going to be deadly.
However, I am very cautious about this game with BAMA. At the end of the day, Clemson's achilles heel will be their defense. This game is also in the Georgia Dome. I think that Clemson squeaks by with a 13-10 victory. Last second field goal.

davjake- no offense taken. We are reeling from out linebacker position. Thugs that were kicked off the team.
I agree with you about the high scoring game. Both teams will score a lot. Team with the ball last wins.

Looking at Clemson's schedule, they have an excellent chance to do well. I still think they had better look out for the Tide though in game 1.
It's Georgia that I can't believe is ranked so high. They will lose 4 ball games, I don't care if they bring all 22 starters back.

You have only won 3 in a row not half a decade. And FSU has won an ACC title in that win streak.
You have to win the ACC and stop losing games you shouldn't.

This will be a very competitve game, but I must disagree with those who think this will be a high-scoring game. Defenses are usually a little ahead of the offenses early in the year, and Saban has been game-planning for Clemson for 6 months. And as Bill Belichick has said, "Nobody is better on the defensive side of the ball than Nick Saban."
As talented as Clemson's running backs are, I think Bama will shut down the run and force Cullen Harper to beat them with his arm. And while Harper put up some good numbers last year, 10 of his touchdowns came in 2 games versus 1AA opponents. Against GT, VT and Auburn (good defensive teams), Harper struggled. In fact, I think Clemson lost all 3 of those games.
In sum, expect Saban's defense to be ready and successful. On the other side of the ball, Bama is also replete with playmakers, but the Clemson game will be the offense's first game under a new coordinator. So it remains to seen how efficiently they can run McElwain's offense in the opening game.
I believe this will be a very competitive game, and with it being played at a neutral site, I see it as a coin-flip game. And in a tossup game, take the points every trip of the train. A moneyline play on Bama would also be a very good bet IMHO.
GL TO ALL!!!

If you say it #5, it must be so. Your in-depth football analysis is second to none. Heck, what do I know about football. All I do is consistently win money. Surely that doesn't count for anything.
BOL TO YOU #5

DaFreak-
The main reason I use Wagerline is exactly for the in-depth analysis you are referring to. Is there something I haven't considered? Is there a trend I am overlooking, how about comparing a hot capper to my picks or monitoring the line moves?
"BAMMER SUX, HE-HE-HE!!"
Now THAT is exactly the kind of analysis I login to prepare myself for gameday.
I am glad that I didn't use it against LSU last year though. I would have lost some big bucks.

I enjoy Wagerline because I get insight from people all over the country. For example, if I'm interested in a UNLV game, I know reliable people on the board who can provide me info on that team. It's a very eclectic group of guys on here.
Of course you have some whose overly constructive analysis consists of "Bammer Sux".
GL THIS YEAR BAMADON!!!

Lets talk about what's important here...
Clemson -5
I was surprised to see this line at more than a field goal, I had expected this line to be at a field goal or less. Clemson should win this one, but I'm going with Saban & the points.
Some other lines of note:
Tennessee -7 @ UCLA
NC State +11.5 @ South Carolina
Illinois vs. Missouri -8.5 (neutral)
USC -19.5 @ Virginia
