Clemson football fans will have just two more opportunities to see the Tigers run down the hill during the 2021 season.

This weekend, Clemson returns home for the first of a two-game stretch and the Tigers will play host to the abysmal program that is the UConn Huskies. UConn holds just a 1-8 record this season and the Huskies have been outscored 309-125 in their losses this year.

The Tigers are beginning to show small flashes of improvement on the offensive end and it’s clear the coaching staff will be looking to build some depth and chemistry for not just this team, but for the program as we move forward into the 2022 season with this game.

Clemson vs. UConn Odds Week 11

The Week 11 betting odds on WynnBET have Clemson favored by 40 points and the over/under total on the game is set at 49 points. The Tigers covered the spread for a second-straight week last Saturday when they beat Louisville on the road by a score of a 30-24.

Clemson vs. UConn Prediction Week 11

Despite the large amount of subbing that we’re going to see and the mix-and-matching that we should expect the Tiger coaching staff to perform, there’s just not much scoring that’s going to happen for UConn. There’s nothing on that offense that even spells they get close to the end zone other than when Clemson is playing walk-ons and fourth-stringers in the third and fourth quarters.

So, if UConn isn’t going to score– we’d cap their scoring at 10 points max– the question is if the Tiger offense can score enough points to cover that massive spread.

The Tigers scored 49 points against SC State earlier this season and we expect a similar output here. The final score feels like a 52-10 or 49-7 type game. In the end, we’re going to take Clemson to cover that massive spread– even though that’s a major gamble with how this offense has played– and for the total to go “over” simply because of how bad UConn is.
