3* ACC Game of the Week on Clemson -11.5
Clemson is coming off a big win over Virginia Tech, but I don't foresee a letdown from the Tigers, who needed to come from 14 points down to beat Wake Forest last season. That game assures us the Demon Deacons will have Clemson's full attention.

A minus-three turnover margin by Clemson was the only reason last season's meeting was close as the Tigers outgained the Demon Deacs 522-317. Turnovers haven't been an issue for Clemson this season as they've committed one or none in five of seven games and no more than two in any game.

Clemson has dominated the series having won three in a row and 14 of the last 18. Prior to last season, Clemson had won consecutive games over Wake by a minimum of 20 points.

The Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and have won their last three by 14 points or more. The Tigers are also 5-0 ATS in their last 5 conference games. The Demon Deacons are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 versus a team with a winning record. Lay the points.
