If the Fedoras had a better coach....(but they don't)..... they might recover from that sure fire win against the Hokies.  The Babers are down to 10.5....

Syracuse Joe???

Michigan -6.5....rivalry not doubt....MSU capable, but I dont think their O will have much if any success....add to that a roller coaster of being upset and then upsetting PSU.....

When you all get a chance would love to hear your thoughts on NC State getting 17 pts which seems like free money as I really believe they'll be able to hang w/Clemson this year. 

Also, Utah State has been playing great and are only giving up 2 TDs to a pretty mediocre Wyoming team.

Train,

Rumblings in bammer land that tua “maybe” got a scope done today to correct a small knee issue. Other reports are it’s just a deep bruise and really sore, that’s why the slide hurt him.. Saban is being extra careful and doesn’t wanna risk anything, so I’m pretty sure (50%) that he will sit this week.. the plan vs mizzu, was to play 1st Q and get up enough for Jalen to take over and rest Tua, that slide made his decision a no brained this week IMO.. So, if tua does play, it will only be 1st Q, or a “Oh shat, we need a TD drive to win”.. lol

I said last week Saban would focus on defense and that unit was lit in practice.. I told you I loved the over and Tide would buckle down on that side of the ball.. same this week! Idk what the number will be, but Saban LOVES Jeremy Pruitt and will not Deep Diik him by 50.. Jalen Hurts is Much better this year, but that’s when he has a 40 pt lead... I expect a H E A V Y dose of run and a low scoring game 31-13 type game.. Saban will not allow his defense to give up 30pts again in reg season.. he needs to build confidence in that unit and will milk milk milk that clock from here on out.. he doesn’t gaf who the QB is, he wants goose eggs on defense more than 700 yds offense.. he hates this style of football because it keeps his defense on the field.. So he’s trying to balance it out.. score quick, sloooooooow it down.. 

Bama is beat up all over the place.. Saban just trying to get thru this game into the bye and heal up.. I’m laying off this week because of all that novel I just posted.. Maybe a Tenn TT under, but that’ll be it.. 

Good luck guys

WahooS 100% right, nobody is running on Clemson.. but that’s a lot of points, rain or not.. gotta think the rain will effect sunshine (QB Clem) just as much do? He gets a little anxious at times under pressure and runs with it in 1 hand.. 

Wahoos, you don’t like Utah St this week? Wyoming is awful

Nc St only avg 144 yds per game on ground vs 280 for Clem , Clem allows 100 

for Nc state bet I think you need throwing weather , you’re not running on Clem

see how forecast plays out 


Irony is though this year.....Clemson Secondary is ranked in Top 10 nationally and other teams are RUNNING ON THEM!!.....couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at matchup stats. That Cuse game gutted them for a bit likely. Loving this thread boys!

Going to help you here Thirst because I like you



Stats are skewed based on playing two teams in GTech & GSou that can’t throw 


They held Aggies to 71 yds (2.2 ypc) but gave up 430 through the air

Held GSou to 1.9 ypc 

Held Cuse to 2.3 ypc but gave up 250 passing 

Held GTech to 2.2 ypc 

the only team that has run on them was Wake for 175 but 51 attempts so 3.4 ypc & that’s against backups as they won by 60 



Nobody is running on them my friend, not so far anyhow & NC St only averages 144 yds per game running , the pack avg 335 passing so that is their strength 


Gotta look beyond the stats & dig deep for the answers

Haha.....I hear ya , no contest on the knowledge, but I watched them play twice and situationally, some teams threw a curve (run) when it demanded pass on......3rd and medium and I saw it work. That being said, the stats don't lie in the AYPC and I just want to hear you wax stat talk. The ranking of secondary vs lineplay in the stats had me paying attention to a potential shift in team defense strength

What do you think of the 17? And, how come not too many or any night games this year for them? 

I take that into consideration when I scan the line for value on teams such as Auburn, Bama, LSU or Clemson

Clemson has escaped NCST 2 years in a row......

I think the NCST defense is the one group we aren'ttalking about....decent against the run facing a qb getting hos 3rd start....

NCST ML on my radar

Wahoo and train.

One game I love is missippi State +7. Think lsu may have a letdown after big win and think states defense will present some problems for lsu.would like your thoughts on game.

Clem weakness is back end of defense so IF Finley can get some shots in they can score, IF that happens then the running game could open up, I don’t mean consistent running at Clem (because that isn’t happening in my opinion) I mean home run type play possibility once defense is on their heels 

Recent history says State but let’s just pretend it’s pouring rain & you can’t throw, then what?  Clem has NFL d line

I agree the line looks heavy & pack have ability to exploit the weakness in the thinnish secondary BUT we kinda already know Clemson is going to score coming off a bye week, they have way better talent & Chubb resides in the NFL now

I’d like the Pack more if it were a short week rather than giving the rookie qb extra prep & Venables more time to devise a solid plan vs Finley

My metrics show fair line of 13.5-14 so I can’t argue line looks intriguing, I’m just in no rush on the game & really don’t have a strong lean yet

as the days pass & I know more info I’m sure I’ll have a bet on this game

You don’t become a 43% capper like myself without knowing all the angles

Memphis is pure garbage, a alumnus is a buddy. Said they shot their wad against UCF and their D is straight garbage. Missouri QB Lock always plays great against these type of teams. 

Really like:

Wazzu - The Pirate will be getting 3 by kickoff
Michigan State +7
Missouri - under 10 - 
great pick Wahoo!

Train did you hit any of your round robin UDML parlays? I was 2 games off! Do you play RR 3 teamers? If I would’ve done that I would’ve hit! Just wondering what your RR consist of? Thanks bro

Oh man....i was sooooo close to winning $25k+.....Nebraksa, Arkansas and UNC all had leads in the final minute and all "shoulda" won....so tough watching the end of those games.....

I had KSt, LSU and Liberty in a few, but not the right combos. Indiana got waxed and that killed some.

I usually do 4 teamers and up....gets really expensive down to 3 and the reward isnt nearly as good.

Will start lookin thru the card today....bit last week was the week to do it...
