Pick via Gambling Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
Finally, some respect for Clemson.
The Tigers have covered three-straight games against NC State, Boston College and Florida State, and now they’re almost two-touchdown favorites against undefeated Syracuse. The origin of this line says a lot.
I have a feeling many people will be running to the window to take all those points with the No. 14 Orange, but I’m not sold. Syracuse has been a great story, but this is easily the toughest test of its season. Don’t be surprised if Clemson wins by three touchdowns.
Lay this number now before it gets to -14.
PICK: Clemson (-13.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 13.5 points
