Point Spread: 10.00 | -110.00 Georgia Tech (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* FAN APPRECIATION BLOWOUT on Georgia Tech.
Setting the scene: Both teams come in at 3-0 and will be looking for a win to open ACC play on Thursday night. Clemson is coming off a 59-0 win over lowly FCS South Carolina State last week, while Georgia Tech is coming off an impressive 38-7 victory at home over Vanderbilt. The Yellow Jackets are out for a little revenge tonight though after falling 43-24 to Clemson on the road last year and while we'll stop short in calling for an outright upset, we do definitely expect the home side to keep this one competitive with the large spread it's been afforded.
Clemson: Let's not read too much into the Tigers win last week. So far QB DeShaun Watson has been unspectacular this year, as he's completed just 56.9 percent of his passes for 692 yards, with seven TD's and three picks. The run game has also struggled, top RB Wayne Gallman has just 197 yards at 4.3 yards per carry through three games.
Georgia Tech: The Yellow Jackets have a ground game that's tough to stop with Paul Johnson's triple-option, but last week it was QB Justin Thomas that impressed through the air, as he'd open with an 81-yard TD strike to Marcus Marshall on the first play of the game. The defense though could have been even more impressive, holding Vandy to 275 total yards and just 17 first downs.
The bottom line: With heavyweight Louisville on deck next week for the Tigers, a team that Clemson beat 20-17 last year, we think the visitors get caught looking ahead, leaving the backdoor open just wide enough for the home side to sneak in through. Play on GEORGIA TECH.
