I’m laying heavy $ on this ya at +11.5. Money line too. Curious what the under is as well?
FSU is a disaster right now with all the Norvell stuff plus limited time to install his system makes this a perfect time to pull off a win against a team with that type of name recognition!
I like ND -20.5. That’ll go up soon
Miami- 16 will too
Louisville -13.5 looks good
Clemson at 32 is tempting
I’m curious how limited to zero crowd effects these games too? Not much home field advantage for the home team and both teams have to find a way to bring some energy and emotion to an empty venue.

-16 is already up from -12... moved 4 points in 2 hours 🤣.
Wait for the GT, id be willing to bet it moves to -13.5 then you can move half a point and get a 2 TD cover.

I can remember last year and the massive spread with Clemson and similar comments being made. It was well over 30. Clemson covered.

Yea, we gave them a lot of points. You never know how the spread is going to turn out if you hand the other team a bunch of presents. We were competitive for awhile otherwise. With a couple minutes left before half, Lawrence had one of his worst lines ever. Even at the end it was very sub par.

This was from July 2015
Phil Steele: How Often Do Underdogs Win Outright?
The next category ranges from 10.5 to 14 points. From 1997 – 2014, there were 1,745 teams that were favored by this amount and 364 upsets, which was 20.9% of the time. That still means that roughly 4 out of every 5 teams favored by 10.5-14 points win the game, with an upset occurring once every 4.8 times.

In this "Age of COVID" no one really knows how these teams have been affected by the loss of spring practice, new coaches, new players, and so forth. I have no doubt that the single most important matchup is our offensive line against their highly touted defensive line. As for betting...only a fool bets on what 18 to 21 year olds will do from one week to the next.

This line sounds about right. FSU was not a good football team last year, but neither were we. FSU has more talent than us, and playing at home (no fans what is priced in?), I think 10 points is about right. I think this will be a low-scoring affair which benefits the underdog typically, so I like us to cover. But there is a reason we are double-digit dogs guys, I know we all expect improvement, but please remember how miserable our offense was.

I don't bet for or against Georgia Tech. Being a huge fan clouds my judgement.
Also, its usually a bad idea to bet on the performance / behavior of 18-24 year olds. Just my gambling philosophy.
A ten point game seems about right.
I get that the SemiHoles are a dumpster fire BUT until we can string together multiple drives and score more than sixteen points per game ... I consider us a Port-O-Potty fire.

I don't bet but if I did, I still would not touch any of them, except Duke and Notre Dame might be tempting. There are just too many unknown variables with the COVID and the first game of the year.

13 points per game from our offense in regulation against FBS teams. :D For example, that turns our 28 points against Miami into 7. That’s all the offense scored.

I think the spread is about right, but, like everybody else, I don't know if it is.

Last year, we didn't know what we had. This year is even worse. We have one good RB (Mason) and one decent WR (Brown). We should be better in several areas, but we don't know if we are.

If I were a betting man - and I most definitely am not - I'd take FSU and the spread. Btw, I hope everyone enjoys the game; I doubt we'll play more then a couple of games this year.

fsu was not a good team but we were worse. We have nothing on the team that is dependable--new QB with new OL so bad Off, very questionable DEF, unknown kicker, now our Punter may be out. This will be an ugly game for BOTH teams probably.
