Well gentlemen, its time for another season of college football. Nothing really beats the anticipation we go through each spring/summer awaiting the return of our sport. Its been a great summer so far of capping here at CTG. I want to thank everyone who has been involved in the forum in the dog days. The list is too long but guys like lindetrain, garfather, vegaskyle, yessir, jump, hunt, etg, dmoney, signacaller, RJ....the list goes on. Great job. Preperation is what will make us winners by season end. I cannot stress that enough. There is still lots of work to do but fortunately we have the time and talent to get it done.
About myself, I basically play straight plays. I do not do dips/teasers and the only parlays I will look at are very small ML paralys early in the year. I usually just tail Hunt on those and don't even post them. I am not a huge fan of totals but will do present some here and there. The landscape has changed again this season with the clock rules back like 2005. We will have to readjust our capping again but it is for the best. My strengths are my big plays. In the regular season last year I did not lose a single big play of 5 units. I am pretty proud of that fact and intend to keep on it again this year. My goal this year is to eliminate the needless plays. Its tough with big boards but I think I have a pretty good gameplan for this fall. Plays will range from 1-5 units in college football. I will also readjust how much each unit is worth after each 4 weeks that way the units are not on a sliding scale. I don't recommend my style of betting for everyone. It works for me. Flat betting works for others. Thats life. Thats about it..lets go win some money.
Florida State @ Clemson
Anyone who has been following the college forum this summer knows my feelings on this game. I believe its an absolute gift and have this valued as a 6-7 point spread. I know quite a few won't agree with me but so be it. Lets get the obvious out of the way. This is a double-revenge game for the Seminoles. They do not want to lose three straight to Clemson. Daddy Bowden has assembled a helluva staff this year down there and I think they come into the season underaapreciated and will leap back onto the national scene.
Why is so FSU so different BAR? Thats easy. Last year was a myriad of injuries and inconsistency. They never could gather any momemtum last year and the offense struggled with the aforemntioned injuries lack of creativity in my mind. Take away the Wake Forest game and every los was under a one-possession game. They fought last year but just came up a little short. The biggest improvement this year will be the offense. Smith will do very well at RB and the receiving corps is top notch. ETG also mentioned the TE transfer from SC(Hannah) so that helps as well. The biggest thing though is a better O-Line. The kids didn't have a chance last season behind that line at times. The line is now coached by WVU's old OL coach which can only do wonders. This offense, no matter the QB, is going to improve so much. Basically thouhg all they need to do is be consistent.
Why just be consistent BAR? Because this defense is nasty. Thats why. This team gave up under 100 rpg last season. Overall the defense gave up under 300 ypg. This was with injuries as well. Eight starters return and this group is gonna make plays and help the offense out week in and week out.
Now lets look at the Tigers. I can sum up why I think they get crushed in week one in one sentence. New QB and a very green offensive line. This is the sort of spots you have to look for in the early weeks each year guys. FSU is gonna eat the kid alive and have a pretty easy time doing it. Are Spiller and Davis great? Hell yes. The problem is they are going againts a great run defense behind a new line and with a QB that isn't going to be able to help them out. This has disaster written all over it.
I think FSU controls this game from the outset. The offense will get chances to succed off short fields created by the defense. FSU gets up early and then when Clemson has to pass turnovers occur and this should be an easy one. I doubt Clemosn gets more than 10 points. I took this under as many did because it is way off. If it goes down enough I may middle it..we shall see..think its a great number though. I usually hate playing side and total but had to in this case.
