Clemson - A&M matches the line. I think we cover and keep it to single digits.

Not SEC, but I dont' see Stanford winning when Bryce Love only had 29 yards in 18 attempts against San Diego State. (14 of those yards are from 1 play.)

Beating the spread over 1,000 games is pretty solid. His %'s line up with the overall results too.

No system is perfect, but his is pretty solid for getting an idea of a game. Much better than FPI IMHO.

This early in the season though it's a crapshoot.

You’re way overestimating the competence of the SC coaching staff.

I know we aren't in the SEC, but we do have a lot of guys post here.

Humor us!

yep we do a pool vs the spread, 12-15 games/week over the season and I keep up with everyone's %.

Nobody goes over 55% for the year. Rock bottom is usually around 40%. Rarely does anyone fall outside that if you are picking that many games.

No doubt.

I like the work Connelly puts out.. probably ththe most compressive statistical analysis of CFB out there.

Yea, and he is willing to make changes and tweaks. And he's about as anti-hot take as they come. His previews are the best in the business IMHO.

I would like to see what the difference is between the 1st half of the season and the 2nd half. IMO that would be really telling on how good the system is.

I think he breaks them out in his weekly pick article towards the end of the year that way.

We are going to dominate KSU. I’ve already taken the line 3 different times at -6.5, -8.5, -10. We played a very dull and shallow game on both sides of the ball in week 1, and still found a way to put up 63 points. Fitz will be back, and KSU honestly will have no idea what to expect.

I think so - I feel like this is one of those games where you really want to come out and open up a multi-score lead as quickly as possible. Otherwise, you get stuck in their game and look up and it is 17-14 late in the 4th or something.

I see us opening with a FG, they answer with a TD. Dawgs score two before half (17-7). Then us putting up two more (31-7) then KSU putting up a garbage time TD for a final of (31-14).
