Sporting news says NO. 51-14 is their call. What say you?

We'll cover +34

was shocked to see mich favored (even if it's at home) versus ND. harbaugh is 1-10 v top 10 teams at michigan. line did switch to ND a slight favorite

We are probably not scoring more than 17, we are giving up 45.

BC but not confident.

If BC plays like they played against NCState, they cover. If they play like they played against Kansas, they won't.

I'm not convinced the D has improved much despite last week's game. Daz had two weeks to prepare for ncst and they are probably the worst team in a very bad acc. I think Clemson has their way with us, something like 52-17.

If NC State had any sort of QB they would have scored on those two goal line stands, Clemson scores on those easily. I'm not sold on this defense being any better then they were two weeks ago, they just ran into a really shitty NC State team with two weeks to prepare for them.

BC is scoring too much for Clemson to cover. 55-31

Clemson will shut down our run game and our throw game will be "gross"el to watch. I say the kid has a couple of picks and we score less than 10. Is the D any better or was NC State an anomaly? I'm leaning toward Clem covering.

Eagles cover... I suspect the game will be similar to 2 years ago. Close until the fourth quarter until Clemson pulls away.
My guess is Clemson by 24.... but the OL needs a big game.

Clemson 48 BC 13

Clemson should win. I agree with the points you are making but these points are that Clemson will win. I'm not convinced that Clemson covers 34 points. They did replace all 4 starting defensive linemen from last year's team. Sure, the newbies on the defense are awesome but they are still newbies. I like AJ Dillon and David Bailey vs newbies. The only question is will BC get 4 full quarters out of Bailey and Dillon the way they did vs NCState and Louisville or will they take a half off the way they did vs Kansas?

Daz is at his best when he has no option other than to have a one dimensional offense. That's what we have now. We will score 21 points. Will Clemson score 55? I just doubt it. They're not as deep as they've been, and Dabo will pull guys if up 24 in the 4th. Gave up gambling after the Falcons let me down in the SB after up 28-3. But if I did, I'm betting on BC to cover.

Point of semantics - can an under dog "cover" the spread? I've aways thought of the favorite covering, and if the underdog stayed within the spread, the spread wasn't covered.

Hes board with BC football.

They cannot.

Favorite covers the spread.
Underdog beats the spread.

I can confidently predict that I will be fucking plastered by the end of the game.
No board judge ruling needed for this statement.

likewise, setting up for a nice twb esque rant

Right now BC will not come close to covering. BC a poor pick in the EO pick'em ( yes I had BC ). Clemson 30 BC 7 midway through 2nd quarter.

Defense had to actually show up and demonstrate a fundamental ability to tackle for us to have a shot.

I was fucking delusional to think Clemson wouldn’t cover 34.
There, I admit it.

This.

I don't think people understand how fucking terrible the ACC is outside of Clemson. NC State was flat our terrible and yet people are reading into it that our o-line has stepped up and the D has improved. NC State had wide open receivers everywhere just bad quarterbacking. Terrible gameplan against the BC D and offense.

BC football at this time is void of talent on D and has some talent on O but no QB. The QB position is where Dazz has fucked up the most. No rhyme or reason to the process.

We probably do hit 6-6 with SU, Pitt and FSU all being terrible.

While Grossel didnt throw any picks, going 3 of 14 was pretty poor. I should've trusted my feelings on this game and bet the house.
