Who are the refs?

I'm not usually one to bash the refs. I know that my homer eyes see more fouls against us than I see against them - and it usually evens out. But sometimes it matters who's making the calls and whether they are calling things close or loose and whether that favors the home team or the visitor.

For example, if we are playing TN and the refs are "letting them play" - as the euphemism goes - then that favors TN. Or if they aren't calling palming, that favors Markell Johnson (and also Jalek). Wheres Joel doesn't carry the ball, so he gets no benefit, and it makes his guy harder to defend. And so on.

I don't know who the good and bad refs are, but this is a venue where that could matter more than most.

Clemson opened as a 2 point fav . . . with O/U at 146.

Clemson is now a 1 pt fav or a Pick depending on the betting site.

Just an FYI . .

If, you are truly worried about the refs, I would count on more homer calls than anything else.
