Here is our pick against the spread for Clemson football’s matchup against Boston College Saturday night in a game that will be nationally televised.
The 2018 Clemson football season has been a successful one so far.
The Tigers are currently 9-0 and are looking to accomplish Goal No. 2 on the season, which is winning the ACC Atlantic.
To do that, Clemson will need to beat Boston College Saturday evening. If the Tigers can get the job done in Chestnut Hill, they’ll clinch the division for a fourth-straight year.
Here is our pick against the spread for the game Saturday.
Clemson Football Spread Prediction: Boston College
Current Spread: Boston College +20
Spread Prediction:
In the game of the week that will be featured on ESPN College GameDay, we have a 20-point spread.
Clemson goes on the road to take on a Boston College team that very well may be the second-best team in the conference and the Tigers are 20 point favorites.
In my opinion, I think that spread is just right.
I’m taking Clemson to cover. The Tigers have covered easily the past four weeks and I don’t see any reason to pick against a team that is playing very well and still has room to improve. I think Clemson is looking to make a statement.
If that’s the truth, we’ll definitely see them jump out and never look back. The eyes of the nation will be on this game and it’s a perfect chance for Clemson football to blowout a division opponent and let analysts, the playoff committee and potential opponents know that the Tigers are ready for the postseason.
Current Over/Under: 57
Over/Under Prediction:
When I think about the score of this game, I’m thinking something like 41-10 or 35-7. I don’t see the Tigers scoring 70 like they did last week against Louisville.
This will be more like a mid-30s, low-40s type game for the offense.
Defensively, I think Clemson holds Boston College to no more than 17 points.
In the end, I’m taking the Tigers to cover the spread and for the game to go “over.” I could be wrong about this one, but I feel pretty good about it overall.
