Clemson vs North Carolina State Expert Analysis and Prediction
Clemson has absolutely annihilated their last four opponents, by putting 45 points on the board against Florida State and Louisville before putting 59 on the scoreboard against Boston College and Wofford. Not only that, but NC State just lost to nationally-ranked Forest by 34 points last weekend and by 21 points to BC in their previous game.
Clemson has gone 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games, 14-3 ATS in their last 17 conference games and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall. North Carolina State has gone an uninspiring 1-4 ATS in their last 5 conference games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
I don’t like the high spread, but with the Tigers having a lot to play for and the road team going 13-6 ATS in the last 19 meetings in this ACC rivalry, I am going to back the Clemson Tigers to get it done!
