The Seminoles are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 road games and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games overall. The Tigers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Seminoles last 5 games overall. The under is 6-1 in Tigers last 7 games overall. The Seminoles are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 meetings in Clemson and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 meetings.

The Florida State Seminoles have completely turned their season around with three straight wins and are relying on a top-14 rushing offense, but it will be interesting to see how they perform against better competition. The Clemson Tigers have no offense to speak of, and even their wins have been a grind. In fact, Clemson is winning its last three games by an average of five points. FSU can make a game of this just because of how bad Clemson is offensively. Give me the points.
