The No. 21 Miami Hurricanes (17-5, 8-4 ACC) and No. 19 Clemson Tigers (18-5, 10-2) meet Saturday at Littlejohn Coliseum. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ACC Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Miami vs. Clemson game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
The Hurricanes picked up a 92-83 win over Virginia Tech last time out at home Tuesday. Miami is 1-4 SU in the past 5 games on the road, including 4-straight losses outside of the state of Florida. However, The U is a solid 5-2 ATS across the past 7 games overall.
The Tigers were shocked at Boston College Tuesday night, snapping a 3-game winning streak. Clemson has failed to cover in the past 2 games, too, and it is trying to avoid its first 3-game, non-cover streak since opening the season 0-4 ATS in the first 4 games.

Against the spread
MIAMI +1.5 (-105) has had its issues on the road lately, winning only at lowly Florida State in the past 5 trips. However, the Canes are a very respectable 20-6 ATS in the past 26 road outings overall.
Clemson -1.5 (-115) has lost the past 2 meetings in this series, too, while going 0-4 ATS in the previous 4 matchups, and 1-6 ATS in the past 7 in the series overall. The ML is more lucrative, but the spread is there if you want a point of insurance.
Over/Under
UNDER 146.5 (-110) is the way to go here. The number has been steamed up from 141.5 over the last 12 hours.
The Under is 6-1-1 in the past 8 road games for Miami, while cashing at a 5-1 clip in the past 6 games after a straight-up win. The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games at home for Clemson, too.
