Clemson-FSU pick the 'Sucker Bet of the Week' on CBS


Oct 14, 2022, 10:02 AM

CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli is taking the Tigers, but like many, he is a little wary of the odds on this one:

"Am I being lured into a trap here? Because I feel like I'm being lured into a trap. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Clemson is only a 3.5-point favorite against Florida State. I understand the game is in Tallahassee, and I think the Seminoles are pretty good (remember: I did take them to beat NC State last week, remember), but Clemson is a legitimate playoff team again.

"DJ Uiagalelei is playing well, and the Tigers defense should be getting some key players back this weekend. I have this being closer to a seven-point game than a 3.5-point game, and I think it's more likely Clemson wins by double-digits than by three or fewer."

I've been wondering the same thing too. It's a head scratcher. For the line to start at 7-7.5 and plummet like it has... It's got me worried. Is it a play by the bookies bc ALLLL the money was going to Clemson??? Is it a way for Vegas to grab attention and get some money put on FSU? Does Vegas know something we don't? I felt comfortable in winning this game easily, now with the line move, I'm definitely concerned.

You have that backwards. The line shifted toward FSU, which means Vegas is trying to get more money put on Clemson. All the money was going to FSU early.

Why would you think that we would win easy?

I agree with Fornelli.

I think there is a possibility it is a close game. There is even a possibility FSU might win. But, the probability is far greater that Clemson will win by double digits.

possibly even triple digits

Final score 103-1

I think Florida must’ve passed a law, making all TD’s from out of State schools worth 1/2 a point. Clemson wins by 7 touchdowns: 3 1/2 to 0.
