Prediction
With another three-touchdown spread, we will instead be looking for Clemson to continue their first-quarter dominance. Last week against NC State, Clemson scored 28 points in the first quarter and the game before that, they scored 35 points against Appalachian State.
Clemson is favored by a touchdown in the first quarter on Saturday and given the fact that they are averaging 21 points in the first quarter this season, backing them to cover in the first quarter on Saturday night will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Clemson Tigers -6.5 1st Quarter (-142)
