00:00Kev your G5 conference champion into the CFP Appalachian State and what a game for the

00:10Mountaineers tonight in Clemson, South Carolina against the Tigers. Clemson still remaining

00:14in the top 25 ever so slightly after getting drubbed by Georgia in Atlanta in the season

00:20opener. 16 and a half points spread though Kev in favor of the Tigers will App State

00:25keep it closer? I think they certainly can they've got a great history of doing just

00:29that but I'm on under 52 and a half here. I maybe I'm chasing my tail as somebody who

00:34loved over last week in Clemson's game with Georgia but I'm using that game as a foundation

00:38for my under bet here. I know the Bulldogs defense is what it is and it projects the

00:43way it does but that offense is supposed to be one of the absolute best in college football

00:48so I don't think we should look at App State and Joey Aguiar and think that that team would

00:51be on the same level. My point is that game was at a total of 49 and a half we shoot up

00:56to 52 and a half here. Oh well Clemson's offense is going to be great based on what

01:01App State still has a very strong defense for the G5 level and I don't think that Kate

01:06Kovnick's going to lead 35 40 type of points performance here and I I know Georgia ultimately

01:11landed at 34 in that game it was six at the break I think the defense got worn down at

01:16home here I think Clemson defensively steps up in a major major way and I think this is

01:22under 52 and a half. They might I mean this is one of my better picks in regards to the

01:26afternoon I like Clemson in in regards to this matchup a bounce back spot they got nationally

01:31embarrassed against top-ranked Georgia three points Kate Kovnick look like a deer in the

01:35headlights can only run for 46 yards on the ground but this is a team in Clemson at home

01:41been 58 and three straight up since 2015 they lose to the likes of Pittsburgh back in 2015

01:47Florida State and South Carolina I don't think they lose to App State they're 12 and 0 all

01:52time against the Sun Belt 5 and 0 all time against App State and again you look at App

01:57State last week they allowed 183 rushing yards on the ground it's a big offensive line performance

02:03look for Mafa and the crew the fact that it opened at 20 and is now down to 16 and a half 17

02:09I'm laying it with Clemson. But in the decline of Clemson football from their nationally successful

02:14standards the last three years twice as many home losses two as in that six year straight run

02:20of CFP appearances when they were 40 and 1 at home as a favorite though just 17 and 20 against

02:29the number in the last three years meanwhile Shawn Clark now the head coach at his alma mater

02:34took the reins full-time back in 2020 for Appalachian State they're 6-3 and 1 against

02:39the spread when people think underdogs in college football they look at the Mountaineers.
