Clemson is a 12-point favorite at home, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The home team is 8-1 SU in the last nine games between the Tigers and the Seminoles.
Last Saturday at North Carolina State, the Tigers got off to a slow start and had an uncharacteristically bad performance on defense, allowing 41 points. But that didn’t matter as the Tigers racked up 56 points of their own to pick up the win and cover as a 13-point road favorite to improve to 8-0 SU and 5-3 ATS on the year.
Clemson was revealed as the No. 1 team in the College Football Playoff Rankings this week and can solidify that spot with a win over Florida State.
This game will mark the fifth time this season that Clemson is a double-digit favorite. The Tigers are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS as a double-digit favorite this year per the OddsShark College Football Database.
Florida State Seminoles vs. Clemson Tigers
When: Sat., Nov. 7, 3:30 p.m. ET
Where: Memorial Stadium, Clemson, S.C.
Betting Line / Total: Clemson -12 / 56 Points
The Seminoles bounced back nicely from their first loss of the season with a 45-21 win and cover against the Syracuse Orange last Saturday. With a 28-2 SU record over their last 30 games, the Seminoles don’t go off as the betting underdog very often. Saturday’s game will be the first regular season game that Florida State hasn’t been favored in since 2011, and the first time that team has been a double-digit underdog since 2009.
The Seminoles are 0-3 SU and ATS in their last three games as a double-digit dog.
Saturday’s total is set at 56 points. The OVER is 4-0 in Clemson’s last four games with the Tigers scoring 56 on their own in each of the team’s last two games.
On paper, Clemson is clearly the better team and is good enough to cover this spread as a 12-point favorite. But these rivalry games always seem to be close when there is a lot on the line, and the Seminoles should be fired up in the spoiler role and keep the game close as a 12-point underdog.
