College Football Odds
Clemson -8.5
Total: 57 points
Clemson has fallen slightly in the polls, but they remain a Top 5 squad entering the third week of the college football season. This could be an interesting game in the ACC ranks as both teams come into the contest undefeated and Georgia Tech doesn’t care what number is next to the Tigers’ name.
Georgia Tech has a stout defense that has allowed opponents to score just 10.3 points per game in victories over Boston College, Mercer and Vanderbilt. On offense the Yellow Jackets are piling up better than 257 yards on the ground per game and have averaged 30 points per game. The ability to hold onto the football for big chunks of time benefits Georgia Tech in a game like this, especially at home, where they can keep Deshaun Watson on the sidelines.
Justin Thomas leads the Jackets in both passing and rushing on the season. Their triple-option attack is tough to prepare for, but this should be a game the Tigers are geared up to play. A massive game on deck with Louisville next week looms for Clemson, any fractured focus here might cost them the game.
