Virginia Tech Hokies Betting Preview

The Virginia Tech Hokies (13-17, 13-17 ATS) are playing in a hot and cold form now and haven’t connected two wins for over a month. The Hokies won five of the last ten games and spent the previous three at home, where they lost to Louisville and North Carolina, and beat Syracuse. Against the Orange, Virginia Tech scored a season-high 101 points (the first time this season they reached a 100-point mark) and allowed a season-high 95 points (the game went to overtime, though). Virginia Tech is 10th in the ACC Standings with the same record as Virginia, nine games behind Clemson, and ten behind the No. 1 seed Duke.

Virginia Tech averages 69.8 PPG (309th) and allows 73.1 PPG (214th). The Hokies are 337th in rebounds (33.2) and 258th in assists (13.0). Tobi Lawal leads the team with 12.5 PPG and a team-high 6.9 RPG. Mylyjael Poteat follows him with 9.6 PPG and 3.8 RPG, while Jaden Schutt has 8.2 PPG and 2.6 RPG.

Clemson Tigers Betting Preview

The Clemson Tigers (25-5, 19-11 ATS) are having a great season, and in 2025, they suffered just two losses along with 15 wins. Clemson was on a six-game winning streak before it snapped with a triple-overtime loss to Georgia Tech, but the Tigers are now on a new seven-game winning run. They will close the regular season at home following a pair of road wins over Virginia and Boston College. Clemson is 2nd in the ACC Standings with the same record as Louisville and one game behind the leaders Duke.

Clemson is averaging 77.5 PPG (94th) and is allowing 66.3 PPG (39th). The Tigers are getting 35.4 RPG (205th) and dish out 14.9 APG (112th). Chase Hunter is the team’s top scorer with 16.4 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 2.6 APG, and 1.3 SPG. Ian Schieffelin adds 13.1 PPG, a team-high 9.5 RPG, and 2.9 APG, while Viktor Lakhin contributes 11.5 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 1.0 SPG, and a team-high 1.6 BPG.

Clemson vs Virginia Tech Prediction

I was going to back Virginia Tech to cover because of a big spread, but considering the Hokies will likely be without their top scorer Lawal, I think Clemson will have no problems covering. Clemson won four of the previous six H2H duels and covered four of the last six, including the first meeting of the season when it was 72-57 for the Tigers. Clemson has covered the Spread in 22 of its last 36 games, while Virginia Tech has only covered the Spread in 14 of its previous 34 games.
