Georgia Southern is unbeaten and rolling after a 31-0 shutout of Charleston Southern, while Clemson's season is off to a stunning start in the wrong direction, a 10-51 blowout loss at LSU that left the Tigers unranked and searching for answers. That's an enormous number to be laying against an FCS-conference team playing loose with nothing to lose, and the money in this market has already been piling onto Georgia Southern's side of the spread far more than the ticket count would suggest. A team that just got run off its own field by 41 points is not the team I want to trust to cover a massive number seven days later, especially at home against a Sun Belt team that just proved it can put a game away early. Clemson may well win outright, but the number is built for a Clemson team that hasn't shown up yet this season, and Georgia Southern only needs to keep it respectable to cash. Take the points with Georgia Southern. I don't expect Clemson to come anywhere near covering this number tonight.
