Offense, with just enough defense and its worked out pretty good so far for the Tigers.  However will a key turnover or 2 the Demon Deacons could cover?

Tigers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Wake Forest. FYI 

With that being said, my early lean is Clemson -13

I was thinking about taking this game early as well...I would hate to wait and have it go up to 2 touchdowns.  I bet Clemson every week and it pays off, but I am unfamiliar with how they are going to play on a short week?  Does anyone have any stats on how teams usually do on short weeks?  I would think there would be less scoring.

 Away from Death Valley, on a short week, and against an opponent that the Tigers have had trouble with.......hmm? Tigers almost "mortal" on the road.

WAKE FOREST  + 12

Too many weapons for Clemson! WF doesnt stand a chance. CLEM lost to FSU by 12 WF didn't even score and lost by 52.

Wake isn't horrible. But the talent discrepency is fairly large. Coaching? Dabo is a mental midget, so Grobe wins that. Both teams should be focused. Leaning Clemson atm...

I feel like this is a trap game for Clemson. WF shouldnt be able to stay with in 2tds of Clemson.... Only way they stay close if they get so crazy turnovers. wild stuff always happens on Thursday night (not for Oregon last week though)... im on a roll and im going with Clemson -14...

Probably because Vegas wants you to take Clemson.  Most of the money is going in one direction.  A WF cover is what they are looking at whcih helps the payout on the ML.  Could be wrong.

mmm--- so all the jack asses , worried about another "suspect" line movement...shall i remind you last week  oregon vs ASU...only that ASU is better than WF ,and this year WF has been garbage, Clemson has  a rubbish deffense, but their offense can put up video game numbers on the board

Hmmm. Clemson has been great for me this season. BUT.....A short week..Then To Duke who is at the top of the ACC who is now already bowl eligible. and haven't been there since 1994. It's hard to take WF in this one but I smell a cover here.

I don't see how Clemson doesn't roll over Wake Forest. The line movement is suspect, however, a reverse line movement is NOT a guarantee cover. It's possible this is a bluff move just to keep everyone on there toes. It's keeping me from taking Clemson so mission accomplished maybe?? However, it doesnt make any sense for the books to invite more action on a winning side ever so WTF.

Think the line is reflecting the Clemson defense losing another DB to injury! Def not good for their awful defense! Wake CAN score! Especially against Clemson! I'm thinking short week,even shorter week for the traveling team, No time to prepare,no defense! Clemson looking ahead to duke! (Crazy right) might wanna leave this one alone!

Wake is ranked #93 nationally in scoring and is averaging 13pts a game in ACC play.  Granted a goose egg against FSU, but they have also played most of the bottom dwellers.

I think like last Thursday this pick looks too easy, and I am happy to take advantage.

Line movement is great as well as % of what people are on, but we dont know what that represents all of the time. Sometimes a better team just breaks people regardless. Too many weapons for Clemson. CLEMSON and OV for the large

I've seen a few people who are cautious about Clemson cite that it's a 'short week'. Is it not a short week for Wake as well? WF Def has to prepare for a Clemson OFF that is light years ahead of Virginia's, their last opponent. Clemson DEF has to prepare for an offense that is without it's #1 receiver and that is #93 in scoring. I just don't see the 'short week' argument as very effective in this case. If anything, it's in the favor of Clemson.
