Doak Campbell Stadium will be buzzing on Halloween as Florida State faces Clemson in one of the ACC's top rivalries. The Tigers have dominated this matchup lately, winning nine of the last 10 games, but things look different heading into Week 9. Florida State is well-rested after a two-week break, while Clemson comes in exhausted after a tough conference loss.
The Seminoles are 5.5-point favorites on Saturday, and the game fits into one of college football's most profitable betting systems, one that hits at a 62.1% rate since 2005.
Although there are numerous options each week, I stick to the systems I trust, those with a 60% or better success rate over a large sample. For Week 9 of the college football season, I'm using two systems. Each system has produced a selection, which is rated on a confidence scale from 0 to 5, where 5 means the highest level of confidence.
I will also share my model's projection, which is a completely separate predictive metric. When my model and the system agree, that selection is more likely to bring home cash. (No betting approach is perfect, so please bet responsibly.) A confidence level of 0 means I like the other side.
