Georgia Tech vs Clemson Prediction

I considered the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the points because they’re at home, where all eight of their wins have come. However, Georgia Tech is 0-4 SU and ATS in its last four games as an underdog. The Clemson Tigers are the more talented team and have a defense that travels. Clemson is 62nd in defensive points allowed and 104th in three-point percentage defense. This has a chance to be an ugly, low-scoring game between two subpar ACC teams. I still trust Clemson more. I’ll lay the reasonable line with the Tigers on the road.
