Clemson Football: Early Vegas Odds vs. NC State Wolfpack
The Clemson football team will host the NC State Wolfpack Saturday afternoon. Here are the early Vegas odds on the ACC Atlantic Division match up.
After a much-needed bye week, Clemson football will host the NC State Wolfpack Saturday afternoon in Death Valley.
The game, which will be a battle of unbeatens, may very well decide the ACC Atlantic Division.
The Tigers will come into the match up ranked No. 3 in the nation while the Wolfpack come in No. 16 in the AP Poll and No. 15 in the Coaches’ Poll.
Here are the early Vegas odds for the match up Saturday afternoon.
Clemson Football Vegas Odds:
Opening Spread: Clemson -17
Early Thoughts:
17 points seems like a lot coming into this one.
It may give us a little perspective into why ESPN College GameDay decided not to come to Clemson. I guess people around the nation just think this game is going to be a blowout.
Honestly, I think that’s a little disrespectful to NC State.
NC State has looked very good so far and, while I don’t think they’re a top-10 team, I do believe that a team with their type of quarterback talent (Ryan Finley) and wide receiver corps has the ability to put up some points against Clemson.
Now, that’s not to say that I’m taking the Wolfpack plus the 17.
Next. 5 Players to watch in the second half of the season. dark
At this point, I’m really not sure what side of the fence I fall on with this spread. I could see a scenario where this game is extremely close throughout. I could also see a scenario where the Tigers come out and take control of the game early and beat the spread.
It’s going to be interesting and I’m really looking forward to this match up Saturday.
