Clemson Football: What national pundits are saying about the Orange Bowl

Clemson Football takes on the Tennessee Volunteers in the Orange Bowl on December 30th. The game is between two Top 10 teams. Clemson is a touchdown favorite. Alex Golesh has taken the head coaching job at South Florida. Jalin Hyatt and Cedric Tillman are skipping the game. The oddsmakers have Clemson as a touchdowns favorite, but most pundits are picking Tennessee. Dan Wolken picked Clemson to win the match. Chip Patterson took Tennessee plus the points. He thinks Tennessee is bought into finishing the season strong and won't be motivated because they aren't in a playoff. Eddie Timanus of USA Today and his colleagues unanimously selected Clemson for the win.

Some pundits are saying that Clemson Football will be unenthused about the Orange Bowl. They are wrong. Clemson won the Cheez-It Bowl last year. Tennessee beat Vanderbilt 56-0. The team's pass defense ranked worse than North Carolina's. The game is two weeks away. There will probably be more predictions. Some people are picking Tennessee to win. Other people think Clemson will lose. It's possible they will cover. However, the most popular picks are based on the fact that Tennessee's quarterback was beaten for the job in 2021.
