The current betting odds have Clemson listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Clemson had a rocky start to the season as they started to look like the same team as last season but they have found a way to remain undefeated through 6 games and have actually been getting a lot better in their games. They have one of the best defenses in the country right now and even DJ Uiagalelei has been improving in each game as the season goes on. FSU got off to a very hot start with their season but they haven't looked as good in their last few games now that the schedule has been getting much tougher in conference play. Now they are playing their biggest game of the year here as this is the strongest team in the ACC and they are going to be exposed in this game if they have not already been in their last few games. Clemson is going to rip through them putting up a ton of points while FSU struggles to move the ball on this defense. This is not going to be a close game at all. The best way to place a bet here is on Clemson to cover the spread in this game.
