Could be public money (since they bet on gamedays) or could have been sharps hitting Clemson after setting it up earlier in the week (by taking Wake earlier in the week, pounding it past a key number then pounding it harder the other way at 12/12.5).
probably public money. all things point to sharps on wake. line moved down 2.5 points, and and back up 1.5 points.
But between 14.5 and 13 it is. That's where it opened on 5dimes and was bet all the way down past 14 and past 13 (both important numbers).
Yea I'm taking my Tigers. Think TLAU had a pretty good take on the game. I'm not taking a total but I think we score 40+ and Wake is probably good for at least 20 against our defense. Just don't think they have the horses to keep up with us. If we were coming off a big emotional win (which we aren't, we beat VT by 3 TDs) I would be more worried because this would be the sort of game we would lose. Our defense is getting better and our offense got laid into all week by our OC about a very performance against Wake. I think our O plays one of their best games tonight.
I think Clemson is the correct side, I just don't feel comfortable betting on a team with an already struggling D that is losing DBs like AU loses games. Especially with the one big time playmaker WF has being a WR. I think Over is the "safer" play because Clemson is going to get theirs. And if they are up in the 2H Wake will get some cheap scores. hate back door covers. Especially when it's a DD spread (14 at my site now) and dog is at home team. always trying to get one in late for morale.
Gonna get on this game for a lot of money: LT - NMST Over 77. too many stats/factors to even post. Wouldn't be surprised if LT hits the # by themselves
Here's my full sheet for the weekend. I've made a few changes to my method... let's hope it works out. I've also attached a link to my blog so y'all can read the write-ups for each game I've picked. PSU +1 ND +11 UNC -7.5 Washington +4.5 Tx Tech +7.5 Louisville -3 UGA +6.5 Wake +13.5 Ole Miss +6 Iowa +6 Week 9 Preview and Picks
like all of that except for BYU. i believe they are in a bad spot this weekend. actually, don't like maryland either.
I like Clemson tonight. I think they win by 17. It may be a slow game at first, but I think Clemson pulls away in the middle of the 3rd quarter. I like the over as well. I'm not big into trends but Clemson is 1-9 on Thursday night ESPN games and Wake is 4-0.
I wasn't paying attention and thought the game started at 7. Looks like I'll be making a 2nd half wager.
I just hope Clemson doesn't completely call off the dogs in the 2H. need 24 more points for that over. Wake is a lost cause. Whoever their OC is may be as stupid as Scot Loeffler. Banged up secondary? Read option!
Thoughts on Maryland/BC now that Maryland lost yet another QB for the season? Boston College is a 2 pt favorite and 46 is the o/u
very disappointed in that over not hitting. thought it was a W at halftime. pretty fucking sick. should have just taken clemson TT instead of the whole game. can't rely on shit teams like WF to get their points
Well that was the easiest teaser of the year. Only won one unit because my dumbass took the over in the MLB game
What are everyone's thoughts on the games tonight? Nevada -3.5 @ Air Force Louisville -3.5 vs. Cincinnati
I like Cincy....because they lost last week. had they won, they likely would have been favored tonight.
Iowa/(h)NW +5 (h)NC/NCState -7.5 (h)Arizona/USC +6.5 UGA/UF +6.5 (h)PSU/OSU pk Mich/(h)Neb +1.5 (h)OK/ND -11.5 (h)Bama/MSU -23 (h)Wash/OrSt. +3.5
Arizona/USC down to 6 at sharp books. Cats looking more and more like the right side. Just can't pull the trigger at 6. Missed the boat when it was at 7 and 8 early in the week.
