Your Movers and Shakers
Clemson (2-1) opened as a +1.5 home dog and has since been pushed to +2.5 against a 3-0 FSU Seminoles squad. This one did open as a PICK'EM at some books.
Florida State enters Week 4 ranked No. 3 in the nation despite a close call in Week 3 against the likes of Boston College.
Andrea Adelson of ESPN:
"A win is a win, but the truth is the Seminoles are lucky to have left Boston College with a victory. Boston College outplayed Florida State for wide stretches -- controlling the ball and the clock on offense, while quarterback Thomas Castellanos gave the FSU defense fits. Though Florida State built a 31-10 lead in the third quarter, two costly fumbles -- including a scoop and score, kept the Eagles in the game until the final minute. BC ended up outgaining Florida State 457 to 340 in yards in the 31-29 loss. The Seminoles dropped a spot in the power rankings. There will be plenty for the Seminoles to clean up before a huge ACC showdown next week at Clemson."
Illinois is now a -14 favorite against FAU after opening at -12. Neither team is off to a good start with both posting 1-2 record.
Kansas witnessed one of the biggest early line swings from -8 to -9.5 in what should be one of the better games of the week (at least on paper) against BYU. Both teams own 3-0 records.
Maryland moved from -5.5 to -6.5, likely a result of MSU stunning 7-41 loss to Washington last week.
