AAA's 10* FRIDAY NIGHT TOTAL "BIG TIGER!" (TOP SIGNATURE RELEASE!)
(NCAAF) Clemson vs. Syracuse, 10/13/2017 3:00 PM, Score: 24 - 27
Total: 56.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOTAL BIG TIGER on the OVER between Clemson and Syracuse.

Clemson comes in off a 28-14 win over Wake Forest at home last weekend, while Syrcuse rallied for a 27-24 home win over Pittsburgh. When these teams met last year, the Tigers smashed the Orange 54-0. Syrcuse is a better team since then and will be out for a little revenge this evening.

Clemson: So far the Tigers rank 40th in the nation in scoring with 35.0 PPG, while ranked fifth in the country on the defensive side in conceding just 11.3 PPG. QB Kelly Bryant should be good to go in this one after tweaking his ankle next week. The Tigers' vaunted defense though is going to finally be tested today by this "pass-happy" Orange offense. Note that the ground game wracked up 190 yards last week, so if Bryant isn't able to suit up, the offense is still going to be fine, especially facing this weak Syracuse defensive unit.

Syracuse: The Orange are ranked 56th in the country in overall offense with 32.0 PPG, the pass offense is ranked 13th in averaging 325 YPG. The defense is allowing 24.3 PPG, ranked 54th. QB Eric Dungey was 33 of 49 for 365 yards and two TD's last week. So far he has 1,802 yards with nine TD's and four INT's. He also leads the team on the ground with 325 yards and another eight major scores.

The bottom line: Whether Bryant plays or not, we think this explosive and deep Tigers' offense is going to have its opportunities today. We also expect Dungey to continue his progression and push this Clemson defense to its limits. Note that Clemson has seen the total go OVER the number in seven of its last 11 on the road, while Syracuse has seen the total go OVER the number in five of its last eight as an underdog in the 21.5 to 31 points range. Play the OVER.
