Looking over the card and nothing really stands out for a good dog play on Saturday...

Possible leans:

Purdue +11@ Iowa

@Iowa State +6.5 vs Neb

@Gerogia +2.5 vs Tenn (personally I think under the total is the play here)

@Minny +2.5/3 vs PSU (PSU seems to be a big public play)

Just wondering what some of you guys think ...thanks for the help
:toast:

I'm starting to think Wake as well...at first glance I thought pass...I believe Clemson has covered every game this season but the more I read the more I'm starting to like the double digit dog at home...I think this is the one to play...I'll have a write-up for this game most likely tonight and tomorrow with some other plays I've already made this week...

Thanks for all the insight guys...

Also, Clemson's #1 wideout Chansi Stuckey is out with a broken foot, happened in practice this week.......Clemson will rely heavily on the running game, with Davis, Spiller and merriweather if hes healthy enough......

I wouldn't bet against Clemson in this spot or any other spot until the train slows down. In the past two weeks, they'covered the spread by a combined 47 points.

Stuckey is out, but he really hasn't been a HUGE part of the offense thus far. In reality, he's pretty underused considering his talent. Last week, the offense only threw the ball twelve times, because they had 3 100 yard rushers.

The defense hasn't budged an inch so far this year and should get back the top secondary player(Mike Hamlin) from an injury suffered in the Boston College game.

Wake Forest is without stud running back Micah Andrews, its starting QB, and its best offensive lineman.

Last year in Wniston-Salem, a 4-3 Clemson team went in and played horribly, turning the ball over 4 times and giving up long passes. This year's Clemson defense hasn't given up a pass over 23 yards. The story should be a little different on Saturday.

I expect a score in the area of 34-10.

The senior has caught 25 passes for 331 yards and three touchdowns...He was named a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference receiver last season after leading the league with 64 catches. The guy is an impact player and will be missed...

Linebacker Anthony Waters is out for the season after tearing a ligament in his knee. Starting linebacker Tramaine Billie broke his foot in preseason practice and the team doesn't know if he'll return this year. Starting safety Michael Hamlin broke a foot against Boston College on Sept. 9, but could return for a few snaps this Saturday against Wake Forest...Their defense this season has allowed 27 points on the road of course given that was two games FSU/BC...

This is all true and good points but they lost their starting QB first game of the season so Skinner has some starts under his belt and Bryant has been filling in just fine at the RB position...they have scored a ton the last two games but they were at home and IMO Clemson hasn't always been the best team on the road...I'm just playing the intangibles on this one...you have a undefeated double digit home dog...other than 03, 00, and 97 you have a game that's been relatively close in score the past 10 years...this is also the highest line for this game since 96 when it was Clem -15...not to mention Wake has covered the last three games against Clemson...I think the numbers hold here with the home dog...
