Florida State at Clemson odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Clemson 23, Florida State 19

Money line

Clemson (-370) will cost you over three and a half times your potential return, and that’s very expensive on a team that has struggled mightily on offense. The Tigers have posted just 20.0 PPG, good for 115th out of 130 FBS teams while posting just 324.0 total yards per outing.

AVOID.

Against the spread

FLORIDA STATE +9.5 (-112) is the lean, covering each of the past two outings. I like FLORIDA STATE +10.5 (-130) on the alternate line just a little more. The Seminoles are 3-1 ATS in the past four outings as an underdog as 9.5 or more points.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, mostly based upon Clemson’s inability to score points, as well as the suffocating defense of the Tigers.

The Under has cashed in four of the past six games overall for the Seminoles while hitting in three straight for the Tigers, and six of seven games overall.

Clemson at Florida State: Three things to know

  1. Pace-wise, Clemson is one of the slower teams in the nation, averaging just 66.2 possessions per contest. The Tigers head into this game ranked second in the ACC in defense (62.0 points per game) and 15th in offense (66.5). A low free-throw rate greatly affects the Clemson output on offense. The Tigers’ 13.3-attempts average ranks 14th in the conference. CU has lost two straight heading into Saturday; the Tigers were outscored, 53-9, in free-throw points over those losses.
  2. The Tigers have also been undone by three-balls in recent games (31 total allowed in last two games). And the distance game figures to be a strength for the Seminoles, a team leading the conference in 3-point shooting at 38.6%.
  3. Florida State has won five straight home games against Clemson. The last Tiger victory at FSU was a 62-56 win Feb. 4, 2015. In five games since, the Seminoles are 4-1 ATS. FSU has covered by an average of six points the last two years.

Clemson at Florida State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Florida State 71, Clemson 62

Money line (ML)

Clemson is a fine defensive team, but Florida State is more talented and versatile at both ends. The tag here figures to be right on the implied odds, so there isn’t enough value. PASS, unless you can get a price closer to +325 on FSU.

Against the spread (ATS)

The home team is 5-1 over the last six series meetings. A bit of value can be leaned on the ‘Noles here. The potential for 1s and 3s to drag this game into 10-point territory is there, so take FLORIDA STATE -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

Both teams tote in several Over trends, but too many factors like FSU 3-point shooting and CU put-backs have to be hitting on all cylinders to have this one play out near 140-range. Peg a slight lean on the UNDER 136.5 (-110).
