Clemson Football vs. Virginia Tech: Pick Against the Spread

The Clemson football team will travel up to Blacksburg to take on Virginia Tech Saturday. Here is our pick against the spread for the matchup.

After the Boston College game, Clemson football fell to 3-1 against the spread.

On the season, the Tigers are undefeated and that’s all that matters. Saturday, they will face yet another tough test in the Virginia Tech Hokies.

Virginia Tech comes into to the game ranked No. 12 in the nation and undefeated with an impressive win over West Virginia.

Here is our pick against the spread for Clemson football’s matchup with Virginia Tech.

Clemson Football Spread Prediction:

Current Spread: Virginia Tech +7

Spread Prediction: I have Clemson football minus the seven.

I believe the Tigers will come out pumped up and ready to go this week. They’re the more talented team on paper and that means something.

The spread seems about right, but I think the Tigers win by around 10.

Virginia Tech will keep it close throughout, but I believe Clemson football will pull away as the game progresses.

Expect Kelly Bryant to bounce back and the passing game to have a better day than last week.

Current Over/Under: 51.5

Over/Under Prediction: 51.5 points is a lot of points, especially when Clemson football is playing.

That Tiger defense is extremely talented and, even with some losses due to injury, I believe they will keep Virginia Tech under the 21-point mark.

That means Clemson football would have to score 31 to go “over.”

It goes against my better judgment, but I’m going to believe in the Tigers’ offense.

I’m taking the over.
