Yes it is probably the strongest betting days in years for those who track the top football handicappers. Among the free picks is one from superstar Matt Rivers.

Rivers has bet on Florida State +9 points at Clemson, using BetUs Sportsbook. I don’t care how inept and pathetic and horrific Bobby Bowden’s team has looked at times. Nor do I care how CJ Spiller and the Clemson Tigers are playing their best ball of the season right now. This number is too darn overinflated and this thing reminds me of BYU for the Seminoles.
 
Nobody gave FSU a chance in Provo and it appears to be deja vu all over again right here in Death Valley.
 
Spiller is lightning fast and great and the Tigers are certainly a dangerous team but they are perenially an underachieving squad that never does anything in the end and today may prove that once again. I am just not scared of Clemson as a whole, even fully admitting that Spiller can be God at times, and to get a guy in Christian Ponder who has been great and a potential Heisman Trophy winner next season plus a touchdown and around a field goal is preposterous.
 
FSU’s defense at times is horrible and Mickey Andrews is just playing out the string after announcing this is his last season. But FSU still has a lot of athletes, maybe not as many in years’ past, but all in all enough for sure to rise up today and at the very worst be competitive in this still national spotlight type of a game.
 
Dabo Swinney’s team has come to life for sure these past three games including winning in overtime at Miami in upset fashion but I do not trust Swinney nor can I ever trust this Clemson program when they are expected to do well in such a spot.
 
Say what you want about Bowden or the ‘Noles, they have won their last two games, including the great second half comeback win at North Carolina and at 4-4 right now have a shot to finish up 7-5 with that eventual loss at Gainesville to Tim Tebow and the Gators.
 
The value in this thing with FSU is too good to pass up. There is still a ton of ability on the visitors’ sideline and to get such a handsome number back against “Clemson” is a steal.
