The No. 14 Clemson Tigers open their season against the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ABC). Below, we look at Clemson vs. Georgia odds from FanDuel Sportsbook before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Georgia is poised for another strong season, despite a 27-24 loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship last year that ended their bid for a 3rd straight national title. The Bulldogs finished 13-1 win after a 63-3 win over Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
With senior QB and Heisman contender Carson Beck, leading a reloaded offense featuring RB Trevor Etienne and WRs Dominic Lovett and Dillon Bell, the Bulldogs are a force. Their defense, consistently producing NFL talent, remains dominant, highlighted by All-American DBs Mykel Williams and Malaki Starks. Even with a tough schedule, Georgia has the depth and talent to contend for another championship season.
Clemson is aiming for a College Football Playoff spot this season, driven by a dominant defense that ranked 7th in yards allowed per game last year and is expected to be among the best again. While the Tigers finished 9-4 last season, early losses knocked them out of title contention. This year, they’ll rely on 2nd-year QB Cade Klubnik and returning RB Phil Mafah to boost an offense that struggled at times. Despite not utilizing the transfer portal, Clemson’s strong defense and in-house talent give them a shot at both the ACC and CFP titles.
