Clemson vs Georgia Tech Betting Prediction
Clemson is coming off of a heart breaking loss to NC State at home over the weekend and this is a must win game for them. The Tigers are 7-7 in conference play and they are right in the middle of a logjam in the ACC standings. Georgia Tech snapped their losing streak with a nice win over Syracuse in their last game, but they have been pretty bad this season. The Yellow Jackets are only shooting 41.7% from the field and they lost to Notre Dame and Louisville prior to the Syracuse win. I think Clemson is going to come out strong in this game and I like them to win this game easily. Take the Tigers on the road.
