Jalen I know they were in a tough spot coming off two big wins and only a days rest, but how in the hell does a ranked team lose by 20pts to a 1-7 team in league. This has to be close to making history. Sure the ACC is a tough conference, but to lose this big. It is just unbelievable. Wow, vegas is so fuking smart.
yeah was a tough one - but you know don't let this one stick in your head - never stay away from a team because of one loss - you figure if you make 100 plays and win 55 of them you are going to lose 45 of them - so look at it that way - just one of the losing picks - but that's ok - we missed on them tonight, but don't let it get you down - good luck to you Jalen45 in the future...
considering that clemson is the only acc team that is really committed to defense, its not totally shocking to see them win this one. obviously the margin of victory is alarming for maryland's sake. but tigers play D in a no-D conference. sometimes thats enough to steal a win.

it isn't 'vegas'. it's people, special people, people with contacts and intuition and knowledge we could never hope to have that work in vegas and/or off-shore. they're called oddsmakers and they are paid more than you or i or anyone will ever make betting on games like this, or any game. lines are set by people that have a smarter handicapping sense than you or i. i gamble small and for fun and i regret that it took me several years to realize that you are never going to beat them, you are never going to make a living, and the human mind is programmed to persevere through adversity and try, try again. it's a deadly combination, really.
