Pick
I’m backing the under. I just think this is shaping up to be a defensive battle between a well-respected Virginia defense and a slightly underappreciated Clemson defense. The lone meeting this season finished as a first to 65 wins kind of game and I think this matchup falls in line with something similar. Give me the under in this one.
