Syracuse at Clemson picks and predictions
Prediction
Clemson 77, Syracuse 71
Moneyline
AVOID.
Clemson should be able to secure the win at home, but taking the Tigers straight up at the current odds (-190) isn’t advised with how they’ve performed recently.

Against the spread
CLEMSON -3.5 (-115) is the lean in this ACC showdown with the Tigers playing at home, where they are 13-1. Clemson convert 80% of their free throws, 2nd in the nation.
Clemson is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 home games and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these programs.
Over/Under
OVER 143.5 (-105) seems like the ideal choice with Clemson likely being able to take advantage of Syracuse’s zone defense. The Tigers are making 36% of their 3-pointers (81st in the nation) and C PJ Hall should have success on the offensive glass.
The Orange are 6-1 to the Over in their last 7 road games and the Tigers have hit the Over in 4 straight games.
