5* Friday BEST BET
(NCAAF) Clemson vs. Syracuse, 10/15/2021 7:00 PM, Score: 17 - 14
Point Spread: -13.50 | -105.00 Clemson (Away)
Result: Loss
I'll lay the 13.5 points on the road with Clemson in Friday's game here in the dome. It's crazy to think that no one wants to lay it with the Tigers, but that's where we are with this team in 2021.
In the Tigers' 4 games against FBS opponents this year, they are averaging a mere 14.25 ppg. THose were some very stiff defenses with Georgia and BC, not the Orange

I think Syracuse's good numbers defensively has a lot to do with their schedule and the caliber of teams they have played. This Clemson team has a ton of speed on both sides of the ball and you'll see the major differences here on the turf in the dome.

The Tigers showed some promise in their last game against BC. While they only won that game by a final score of 19-13, they had 438 yards of total offense, eclipsing 200 yards on the ground and thru the air. They just couldn't finish drives. Clemson had to settle for 4 FGs, scoring just 1 TD.



Syracuse is one dimensional and Clemson's defense hasn't been the problem.

I think that's going to have the Syracuse offense playing behind the chains all night, which in turn should lead to great field position for the Clemson offense and possibly some big turnovers that leads to some quick scores.

Clemson is also coming off a BYE week, which means they have had 2 full weeks to work out those kinks on offense. I expect Clemson to win and win big on this Friday night affair.
