The Clemson football team will take on the Florida State Seminoles next Saturday at home. Here’s a look at the early Vegas odds for the match up.
The Clemson football team didn’t cover the spread for just the second time all season when they took on the North Carolina Tar Heels Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers came into the ACC match up as 26.5-point favorites, but left as just a one-point victory. With the win, Clemson football remained undefeated on the season straight-up, but fell to 3-2 on the season against the spread.
When Clemson returns to action next weekend following an open date this Saturday, the Tigers will be taking on the Florida State Seminoles. The game is slated to kick off at either 3:30 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. depending on what the television networks decide following this weekend’s games.
Here’s a look at the Tigers’ early Vegas odds against Florida State.
Clemson vs. Florida State Early Odds
Opening Spread: Clemson -24.5
Though national analysts have expressed their concerns about Clemson moving forward, it’s clear that Vegas doesn’t have much of a concern when it comes to the Tigers.
The Clemson football team will step into this as a 24.5-point favorite and that number very well could rise as the week progresses.
Florida State has shown some promise the past couple of weeks, with wins over NC State and Louisville. The Seminoles are looking to get to a bowl game in year two under Willie Taggart and it should be expected that they’ll be looking for revenge after getting completely blown out by Clemson last season in Tallahassee.
Even though Clemson is a heavy favorite, this is still a rivalry game.
The expectation from Clemson football fans is that the Tigers come out with better focus this week following the scare against UNC and put this one away early. Make sure you check back here on Rubbing the Rock for more updates and analysis pertaining to all things Clemson football.
