FSU Slurping

If the line is FSU by 17, I'm emptying out my savings, taking out an equity loan on my house, and selling my body for money so that I can put it all on the line. That would be absurd in a rivalry game like this one. ****, I hope that's what they set it at.

So you're going to plunk down $286.83 on this one if the line is 17? Good tidings, bub.

We are gonna turn it into a brawl sloppy game and we will win. They may well dominate the stats but we will pull it out. Team of destiny. We still have another notch left to rise. They may well be peaking now. FSU that is.
 
@TomahawkNation: "NCAA sanctions for Miami: Canes have to play a night game in Tallahassee and remain winless against Jimbo Fisher."

We'll see, ************.

I'm more worried about our offense vs. their defense. I foresee another interception marathon.

You can predict turnovers? You're even smarter than I thought you were.

Get a life lmao. I didn't say the Semenholes are gonna win, just that they're an excellent team this year and you'd be a fool to deny it.

FSU is the best out of the top 3 right now if u go by what they have done against the competition they have played. Chk this out:

Bottom Line. None of that means jack$hit come rivalry Saturday! Anything can and well happen. However right now we gotta get SMorris head back in the game or we are toast cuz Golden is riding with him no matter what!

What do you guys think the line will be for the UM-FSU game?

Number is higher than most around here are estimating. When a team puts forth a display like Florida State did against Clemson, you don't get them cheaply at home in the aftermath. Their number reached as high as -6 at Clemson. It was -3 early then was bet upwards severely in the late going. Some places backtracked to the -5 or -4.5 range at closing but make no mistake it was a big move in a high profile game and the bettors collected. The oddsmakers will take note of that and try to thwart the same pattern. They don't want Florida State bettors laughing at the early number again.

Clemson is still rated a point or two above us in the respected power ratings. So that's a tipoff right there. Reverse the home field, bump Florida State's power rating considerably from last week, and have them facing a team rated lower than Clemson and you're looking at a number that's at least -14 or -15 if the game were played this week. If anything, I'm at the low end.

BTW, I wish we could get rid of the ignorant nonsense that balanced action is a given. Even if the number doesn't move or barely moves it hardly means the books are balanced. Often there is one hot side. The sharp players, for example, might be looking to give -6.5 on a game. If it opens -6.5 everywhere, those joints are hit and the number quickly moves to -7. And there it sits. There's no guarantee you receive any significant money on the other side. Normally it's the opposite. The small players who missed the -6.5 steadily give the -7. So the bottom line is already imbalanced and the only way to get it back is to move the number wildly to -7.5 or -8, setting up vulnerability for the book to get middled, or to hope that one of the influential betting groups comes in with a late play on the underdog. As often as not, those groups will decide to give the -7 late, making it even more imbalanced. But at least it frees up the book to jump to -7.5 or -8.

Sportsbook managers are bitter types with lots of fear and great memories. Even if they want to move to -8, they might resist it because they know that one of their sharpest bettors, a guy they can't stand and who has been beating them regularly, got in at -6 when the book got cute, guessed wrong, and decided to shade the opening number down instead of up. That type of thing happens with regularity. So the sportsbook manager is throwing a fit, wanting to move upward to -8 but saying, "I know Joe will come in here and take that +8 for at least 10 dimes. So if it lands 7 he'll win 30 dimes...20 on the favorite and 10 on the dog. And he'll be laughing at the window when he cashes. No chance. I'd rather leave it at +7.5 than give him the satisfaction of giving 6 and taking 8 at the same joint."

I've worked as sportsbook supervisor at one of the biggest spots in Las Vegas. That paragraph above is reality, not the simpleton nonsense that Las Vegas is all knowing and unimpressed. I wish someone would film the back room of a sportsbook for one hour during a day in which the book is getting hammered. You've never heard so much whining and crying in your life, along with physical displays of temper. The reputation would be forever changed if a video like that aired.
