Clemson (3-3)

Best Line: TEM +37, CLEM -36.5

We feel bad taking this game. But not enough to walk away from what could be an 80 to 0 trouncing. Temple’s been dogfood all year, getting crapped on by teams in a cruel and unusual manner. Clemson will be no different. Last week, Miami unexpectedly let up against Temple, enabling the punchless Owls to walk away with an ATS victory. However, remember that Clemson is coached by Terry Bowden—that boy doesn’t know what it means to hold off the dogs. There will be much scoring to be had and it’ll continue throughout four quarters. Clemson’s a pissed off, surly team after pretty much being eliminated from ACC contention this year. We won’t be surprised if every single member of the Clemson team scores. Including the pep band.
PICK!: CLEM -36

North Carolina State Wolfpack

Best Line: CLEM +5, NC State-4


So, here’s the thing that’s shocking(shocking!) about Clemson and their not-so-pretty-on-paper: they’ve only committed three turnovers all year. Three. They’re also 18/18 in the red zone and the least penalized team in the league. So, we have to think that this team is much better than it is on paper—the Miami game should’ve proven that, anyway—and with a team like this getting points, we see no reason to buy into the fact that the Wolpack are straong enough to beat the Tigers even with their victory last week at Georgia Tech. Clemson on the moneyline isn’t a bad play either, but we’ll take the points for now.

PICK!: CLEM +5
