Didn't see that one coming. Figured we would be 3pt dogs

So pretty much a 50-50 game...

Now a pick'em

When the news that Duke Johnson is injured gets out, the points will swing back. I am still wondering about that last hit.

Currently showing even odds, which is what I expected.

Moved to Miami 2 point favorite. A lot of movement.

Hahahahaha of course you did

Sounds just about right to me. Now, all we have to do is play like we did against VT. That team should beat da U by 3 points, at least. And if da U that played Nebraska shows up, well …

the uM news report only had the RT hurt for Tech as of Monday, new report?

I think both OT are hurt for them. One is out and one is doubtful. Taylor Gadbois from Dallas, Ga may not play

Imo comes down to whether or not we get pushed around on defense. If Miami's run game is knifing us for 6 yards a pop and they are able to fool us a couple of times with play action, it could be a long night. On the other hand if we can stop the run on early downs a couple of times, we could force their young qb into making a couple of mistakes. In the latter scenario I trust our O can score enough to win.

@alaguy I had wishful thinking from his last hit in the Duke game. Looks like he only has an ankle brace on for practice and should be good for our game.

The movement in the line probably reflects that Duke J is ok based on people watching him at practice.

Being an underdog at home ..... we'd be a 7 point underdog in Miami. Makes sense given recent history. We were 6-7 point underdogs to VT and it took heroics to win.

But Atomic has us as 10 point favorites. No matter for any. We play well and don't turn the ball over we should score more than Miami.......

Last season GT (3-1) was a 4.5 pt underdog @ Miami (4-0). We lost by 15. Just sharing; not trying to read any more into that.

Also VT is favored by 2 @ UNC this weekend. This further confirms for me that there's not much separating teams in the Coastal.

"Focus on one game at a time" is as true as it's ever been.

The only sure thing with football odds is that Vegas will make money.

We just need to take care of the ball, play hard, smat, and mind our own responsibilities. We do that and we will win.

 

[forensicbuzz]

What the movement on the odds are saying is that the betting public is giving us no respect and jumped on Miami getting points. The line swings to get even betting.

 

[CuseJacket]

GT is again a 1 point favorite.

No question that honeycomb helmets = 3 point swing our way.

Any update on Duke J?
