Clemson -4.5 at S Car?
Jul 1, 2013, 12:36 PM
|
|
Every other site I have seen posting early lines (Phil Steele, SB Nation, Etc...) has us as the underdog at -4.5 against SC jr at their field. Is this line correct?

Something to also consider about these lines is that 3 points are given automatically for home field advantage. So technically they seem to be pretty much calling this one a tossup.

Yeah I saw one that said us +3 against UGA at home and -4.5 @ SCar. Not sure how that happens that we are underdogs at home and favs on the road against two pretty equal teams from the same division of the same conference.

Not sure you understand the line. Clemson is not favored in either game.

Oh it must have been a typo earlier... I looked at it once and it said
Clemson (-4.5) @ South Carolina
Written above, it would be Clemson is favored correct?
It now says: Clemson @ South Carolina (-4.5)

Yeah but thats pretty much saying socar by 1.5. To be playing on the road as a 1.5 underdog is a pretty positive thing.

Thank you. I'm pretty sure I saw it that way, too, at first.

Correct me if I'm wrong,

But if 3 points are automatically given to the home team, and both games were played at a neutral site, UGA would be favored by 6.5, and SCar would be favored by 1.5, right?
If that's true, I can't believe they'd nearly have us as a touchdown underdog to UGA if this were say, played in Atlanta. It's the lack of respect that bothers me; I actually like Clemson better as the underdog, as history would show.

The 3 points for the home team is not automatically figured Into every game. What was the line last year?

I should actually say that its the basic rule of thumb that the home team is given 3 points calculated into the line. Automatic is a bit strong but it is the basic rule of thumb.
