Virginia Tech vs Clemson Prediction

The current betting odds have Clemson listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Clemson has looked great in their games this season with their 20-4 record overall and their 10-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the ACC. They have looked great on their home court too with their 11-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech has looked good in their games this season with their 16-8 record overall, but their 5-6 conference record has them right in the middle of the ACC. They haven't been a great road team either with their 2-4 road record this year. Virginia Tech has been really up and down in the ACC this season and they have had a lot of trouble with the stronger opponents in the conference. They are 2-3 in their last 5 games and they have lost 2 games in a row now against top teams in the ACC. Clemson has been rolling in their games though as they are 4-1 in their last 5. Their only loss was in a tight game against NC State who is also a top team in the ACC at the moment, but Clemson has been rolling since then with 4 wins in a row now. They are also off a huge win over Cal in their last one after having a scare against Stanford the game before. Clemson has looked like a different team on their home court all season though and they will be able to take advantage of a VT team that has struggled on the road and against stronger teams in the conference. Clemson is currently ranked inside the top 25, but they have been disrespected for a lot of the season and will be looking to make a statement back at home. Clemson is the more talented team here so look for them to pull away in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Clemson to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"Congratulations to the Wolfpack and Coach [Will] Wade, who I admire a lot. Go way back with him; he's doing a nice job with his team. We had our chances and played very well in the first half. We're down 12 at the half, were terrible offensively. Had nine turnovers, which you can't do anywhere. Certainly not on the road against a good team.” - Mike Young after his team’s loss against NC State in their last game. 


“We've talked about it: The strength of our team is the team. We've got guys that are good players, a lot of guys on our team that could play more minutes, but they've sacrificed in order for us to play what we think is the best way for us to play, which is playing a lot of different guys.” - Brad Brownell after his team’s win against Cal in their last game.
