Tale of the Tape

Clemson Offense vs. FSU Defense

Clemson vs. FSU Best Bets & Predictions

While the statistics on the tale of the tape look pretty for this Clemson defense, it is probably worth bearing in mind that they have played two cupcakes in Charleston Southern and Florida Atlantic.

In their only real test of the season, they were demolished 28-7 by a Duke team that the jury is still out on. Dual threat QB Riley Leonard tore this defense apart comfortably in a 28-7 win for the Blue Devils.

Jordan Travis picked up a bit of a niggle as FSU struggled to put away Boston College on Saturday, but hopefully with a week’s rest, he will be back to close to full fitness. Mike Norvell said that he is fine, so he should be a full go on Saturday afternoon.

He is averaging 5.6 yards per rush on the year, and could pose all sorts of problems with his arms and legs for this Clemson D.

Clemson vs. FSU Best Bet

Our favorite pick in this game is FSU -2.5 at odds of -110 with BetOnline. The past two Clemson games, really showed us nothing, and we believe that they failed to pass the eye test against Duke.

On the other hand, FSU demolished LSU in Week 1 and we are forgiving them for last week’s close encounter at BC after their starting QB was a little banged up.

Cade Klubnik was bang average in the opener versus Duke after showing signs of life at the end of last season. This FSU defense is no pushover and he will not be able to rely on Will Shipley to churn out yards against them.

He is going to need to beat them with his arm, and we don’t think he can. Jordan Travis and the team of talented Seminoles will have too much for this Clemson team and win this one comfortably.
