GT vs Clemson Action Report and Free Picks

In just over two hours time, the #4 ranked team in the nation will be playing Georgia Tech. The location will be the very large and accommodating Mercedez-Benz stadium in Hotlanta. This game is not being played on GT’s campus, even though it is considered a home game.

The current point spread has Clemson favored by 24 points at top ranked sportsbooks. The total is resting at 51 points.

According to our connections over at SportsBetting.ag, about 75% of the betting public is backing the road favorite Clemson Tigers.

Here are some betting trends heading into this matchup:

• Clemson finished strong last season, covering in 3 straight and 5 of their final 6 outings.
• The Tigers have a 5-1-1 ATS record in the last 7 meetings against GT.
• Georgia Tech only covered in 1 of their 8 final games of last season.
• Since 2018, GT has only beaten the spread in 3 of 11 games against ranked opponents.

I think you can see where this is going. Despite the public backing the favorite to the tune of 3-1, the trends point to a bet on Clemson. The heavy public action makes me shy from backing them too heavily however.
