Projected Spread For UF Game

Advertisement
None of this matters. This line is out solely to put something out there. We have a new HC, new Offense group, crap ton of new weapons and a giant ? at QB. I wish I had powers to make predictions like this with all the unknowns we have right now.

I think I'll continue to live out my life now...
 
Come talk to me after we have a team assembled in the fall and we know what we have
 
To be honest I expected higher. Given how UF finished, our lack of an experienced QB and what we lost in the secondary I figured it would be around -10.5.

How the fck do you figure you can make even a half assed prediction before spring ball?

Who's our QB? How's Lingard going to look by then? How long will it take for the offense to pick up the new system? Will any FR contribute? Sure our punter will scare the **** out of the other team, but can he actually punt?

But sure, why not? Go ahead and predict some sht. If you're wrong, who can blame you...it's not like you had any facts to back you up. And if you're right...well then you're a genius, aren't you?

It's going to get to the point pretty soon where next season's polls and predictions are going to come out in October of the current season.

You say that, but history shows that MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, those SEC teams win these types of non-conference games.

There's always exceptions (UGA vs Texas last year), but you can't argue with results from that conference.

We just need to stop fcuking around and take back CFB. Have a few chances over the next couple of seasons.

Sure. No disagreement there.

In Texas' case you have a HC who always covers in big games and a Tebow-like Heisman contender QB who made a huge leap in his 2nd year and could do the same this year. And they're at home. LSU has been volatile under Orgeron especially early in seasons.

With Miami-UF you have a UF team with a lousy QB behind a brand new OL and they lost a ton of impact starters on defense. So essentially they lost the foundation of their success last year and have a bunch of unknowns besides BJ Henderson and a few others. And we know Miami is getting slept on because only the fans know about the upgrades on the staff and with specific transfers and 2nd-year guys. There are still major question marks like QB and OL though so it's not as much of a slam dunk as Texas +8.
 
Take some Miami and go to sleep. Wake up and count your money.

From an oddsmaker's perspective they want to let the bigger fan bases idiots to blindly go in at a terrible line.

True...and this is why youll slowly start seeing this line trickle down. Wouldnt surprise me to see the good guys as opening chalk -2 kickoff time
 
Not surprised to see this. Right now we've got a lot of media and PR hype, but not much else. I'm confident that Manny and his staff will get it done, and we'll throw everything at UF, but right now they are no doubt the favorites. They were also the favorites in 2013, multiple games before that as well, and it didn't matter.

I am convinced people do not watch the bowl games and legit slurp the SEC mantra: "if we lose a bowl game its because the players didn't care about the game"

There's money to be made there. Clemson given WAY too many points after a close one with TAMU last year, and arguably TAMU improving. While Clemson didn't get worse, they did lose KEY LEADERS and that leaves some question marks. I still think Clemson wins but not by 3 scores.

People complaining about someone’s “way too early” prediction on a line for a game in August must get their feelings hurt easily or not have watched football last year.
Florida won 10 games and the Peach Bowl last year (also beat the best team we played all season LSU)
Miami won 7 games and got curb stomped in the Pinstripe bowl.

I understand Canes fans have high expectations and Diaz has done everything he could in a short time, but let’s take a look at ummm I don’t know, who our QB will be? How our defensive line and secondary adapts to the losses we had after last season. What kind of offense we will run, etc

The bottom line is we will be unproven and unranked playing a school that greatly exceeded expectations last year and will likely be in the top 10 to start the season. Let’s stop getting our panties in a twist because someone is predicting an early line of 8.5 against us.

Show up to the spring game and then we can talk more about football.

You preach the truth. One must realize what you are dealing with at Cis. There is no middle ground. Posters either hyper enthusiastic or unreasonably depressed about team at different times during the past 15 years. Game will be very difficult to win.
