I'm a Clemson fan always and forever but can someone please explain to me how the betting folks keep picking Clemson to win games when we play like this? I'm not sure that I'm even seeing Furman as a win at this point.
Remember it's some history but the point spread means a lot more than being favored. So let's say Clemson was favored by 20 against Duke then yeah that would be crazy. But almost all teams get a field goal at home. Look as a CLemson fan if we were favored by 20 against anyone I would take the other team and win in the 6 figures.
It's primarily based the number of bets on each team from sportsbooks. They want has much even money on both sides as possible. The line stated at 3.5, but as more people bet on Duke they moved it to 2.5. The general betting public doesn't fully understand how bad we are. Betters see Clemson/Duke and automatically think Clemson will win.
