FSU Football: Why Clemson Opened As 3 Point Favorite Over ‘Noles

FSU football comes into the Clemson game off back-to-back wins and bye week. Clemson is also coming off a bye week and is undefeated after surviving against NC State the prior week.

If you ask most FSU football fans, they would have expected to be near double-digit underdogs against Clemson going into the game on Saturday.

Why did Clemson only open as a three-point favorite?

It sure surprised us as we thought the line would be around -9.

Oh yea…I’ll say 9 https://t.co/JQNpUtGxpO
