Strongest Play Of the Year!

Line Exploiter

Pretty much a regular
Don't Post often but always follow the Forum, but from time to time I see game I like a lot on the Board! This week I almost dropped my Laptop when I saw The Clemson-MD line open at -13! MD is just plain bad, they opened the season by beating up on bad teams including WVU before they changed QB's. Md lost both starting WR's last week as well as missing multiple players on defense and just can't score anymore! Clemson should be very angry after getting embarrassed last week by FSU, look for a blowout at BYRD Stadium Saturday afternoon! Clemson 42-17 for a very Large bet -13.5 and would go all the way to -17!
 
I can't believe that the story is true about Taj, but he did have an awful game last week? If this gets to ESPN I will give it a lot more validity!
 
I've never understood this, if you expect 42-17 why would you only take it up to 17?

I'm just curious about the logic behind this..
 
I can't recommend this play. History suggests that Clemson will tank. See 2006 and 2011.
 
Clemson got woodshedded in their biggest game in school history or at least the past 2 decades. They cant win the National Title anymore, they cant even play in the ACC game. Sure they can get into a BCS game, but hard to predict how motivated they are.
 
It was a tough defeat, but this Clemson team is still eligible for everything but a Championship game? This is more a bet against MD, I am Terp graduate and follow this team every week! Trust me they are in horrible shape on both sides of the ball and Clemson can show up with average effort and still win by 21!
 
Good point, Crawdad, and the reason why I'm passing on this game.

Clemson will run them out of the stadium if they are not flat, but when a team loses the biggest game of their careers--this team was dreaming of playing in the national title game this time last week--they usually come out flat.
 
for what it's worth, if taj boyd owed me 80k, i sure as hell wouldn't make him throw the game where he was a 3-5 pt dog. that makes no damn sense. you do it when you're a 14-21 pt favorite. that moneyline would go a hell of a lot further than the -3 ish would. pretty simple.
 
It will be interesting to see what some of the syndicates do with this Clemson spread tonight when they make their plays? I have a feeling this line is going up and I am glad I locked in at Clemson -13.5. Taj has vehemently denied this betting rumor and this whole week of questioning May just motivate him to come out and pound this weak Terps defense! I just think Clemson playing an average game will be enough to beat the Terps by 21+ points!
 
I'm gonna throw down on the Turtle this week. I like to play against teams the week after they lose their "Swagger"
 
I do like the fact that I now have the value after Clemson moved to -16.5 at all major books! I don't think that anyone who is arguing for a MD play in this thread could have watched their last few games? MD is truly bad right now and a mediocre effort by Clemson should result in a 20+ point win!
 
I could see Clemson coming in sluggish and just not being into the game much after the beat down they took. They could potentially be really deflated here.
 
I am wondering in whose interest it is to leak these Tajh stories. Only the books and Tajh would really know and why would they leak this. The books would not want to reduce his value and Taj is still dreaming first round NFL. So I think it is most likely bull but in all the articles I read they say he only bet the NFL. So if somebody is out to get Tajh why not go nuclear and write that he bet NCAA games. For now I view it as a disturbing riddle but combine it with the discussion here and I am fading the game. There are,after all, many other games worth consideration.

lol that IBN guys is full of shit. Anyway, I know Maryland sucks, they got beat down by Wake, still hard to predict Clemsons motivation. Anyway, packing up the car now and heading there for the night.

I can't believe the amount of people that like MD, this team is going to get destroyed today and this will be last chance to jump aboard Clemson Train and ride it!
