Why is Duke only giving -6.5 v Clemson today?

Clemson doesn't have the talent to keep up with Duke.

This line seems off to me.

Seriously I kinda joke in the post above but I guarantee you over all my years gambling if I played the opposite of a like I thought seemed fishy or off of me +$$

Seems like every time I question a line like you did and then look at the final score later. I get my answer as to “why that team’s favored” etc. and usually when said team wins and covers, or doesn’t cover a seemingly small thread, my answer is “oh, that’s why.”

I get it, pal.

But the line and Clemson's talent don't mix.

Yeah, Duke is on the road and in a tough environment to play, yeah Clemson has a good coach, but they can't keep up with this Duke team.

Eventually, talent is going to take over no matter how many screaming fans there are or what plays the coach draws up.

Tough to go undefeated in a conference

Last team to do it was 25 years ago in the ACC I think

Maybe this is the game? Duke had a few poor halves here and there

This was the last ACC team to go undefeated 1998-99

What a roster

Upset by U Conn in NCAA finals

Yeah it's crazy tough to go undefeated in a conference no doubt.

I'll have to think about this one for a bit. As much as I trust my instincts, you bring up good points.
