The line for the 2020 ACC Championship Game between Notre Dame and Clemson has been posted by BetMGM, The King of Sportsbooks.
Notre Dame might be ranked second nationally to third-ranked Clemson, and the Irish may have won round one between the two this year, but the return of Trevor Lawrence and a few others for Clemson gives them a significant edge according to those in charge of making money off of it.

For reference, Notre Dame was a 5.5 point underdog in November’s win over Clemson at Notre Dame Stadium after the news Lawrence would be out. During the summer BetMGM had the line set between the two at Clemson -7.5

When the two met in the 2018 Cotton Bowl, Clemson was an 11 point favorite.
Say this game plays out almost exactly as BetMGM says and Notre Dame loses by a touchdown. Is there any way in that case that Notre Dame isn’t heading to the College Football Playoff?
I tend to think not but if that’s the case it certainly wouldn’t hurt to have Florida fall to Alabama in the SEC Championship just to be safe.
