Thurs Night Game

everythingthatsgreen · Oct 12, 2005

Anyone else jumping on Clemson +6? I think Clemson wins this one SU so the points are just a benefit. I won off of NC. State last wk but I think Clemson is a better team. Clemson has dropped some very tough games these last few weeks, back to back overtime losses at home. Clemson win or lose, good or bad, plays everyone tough so I can't really see an NC State lead of 7 or more.. Thoughts?

I'm not sure NCSU can cover 7 either...

Clemson has been a scrappy dog this year, biggest loss is by 6 points to Miami in OT. They can probably keep it close, but I don't see them scoring more than 20 on the Wolfpack D. That being said, the home teams usually cover on these weeknight games unless they are clearly outmatched.

Likewise, the under makes me a little nervous, as these weeknight games tend to go over. I'm taking the under 45.5 for 1 unit based on NC State's voracious D and mediocre O, just an action play. GL

I'm also on the under, looks similar to last Thursaday's game. Lean (but no play) on Clemson. They're getting accustomed to playing close games.

With the season on the line for Clemson (possiblt Wolfpack too), the defenses step up to the plate, imo.

Just my two cents, GL to all!!!

Might be speaking early but at the start of the 4th quater looks like I am going to win Clemson +6, and Clemson ML to put me at 2-0 for the week. The following are my Saturday Selections so far:

Rutgers + 2
UConn - 7.5
Nevada - 1.5

Looking @ the over in the Whisky / Minnesota game, Northwestern +7.5, Oklahoma - 7, Mich St +7, & Colorodo + 17... Will update on added picks...
