Florida State Seminoles vs Clemson Tigers Picks
FSU vs Clemson Spread Pick
- Florida State +1.5 (5 units)
This season has been one to forget for both Clemson and Florida State. Each team had ACC title and National title hopes entering this season. But, they have soon been dashed by poor performances and heartbreaking losses. This game is a necessity to win for both programs, but only one team will be able to put together enough clutch drives to get the win, and that will be Florida State.
The Seminoles are going up against a really poor Clemson defense that cannot get stops and put games away. The defense could not do anything correctly as Duke marched all over them in last week’s loss. Castellanos is a very solid quarterback, and if he is in rhythm, he will pick apart the Clemson defense. The Tigers have also been really bad at home. They are 0-5 against the spread inside their own building. They are also 0-4 against the spread in one-possession games. This will be a close game and Clemson has struggled in those as road teams have feasted in Memorial Stadium.
Take Clemson to cover.
FSU vs Clemson Over/Under Pick
- Over 56 (5 Units)
There have been many struggles for both teams this season, which have been reasons for the poor records. One of the biggest glaring mistakes has been the defense. Both teams have leaked points and the defenses cannot get off the field to give the offense any sort of a chance. This game will be a shootout between two capable quarterbacks against defenses that do not have any sort of confidence. The over is 3-2 when Clemson has played at home, while the defense is allowing 31 points per game in defeats. The over is 5-3 when Florida State has played this year, too.
Take the over on Saturday.
