Clemson Tigers vs Florida State Seminoles Key Stats
While the rankings of these teams might suggest there are serious differences, some similarities still exist.
Clemson and Florida State have played against the same teams on three occasions this season (Boston College, NC State, Wake), giving bettors some extra insight. Against those teams, Clemson has an aggregate winning score of 112-68. Against those same teams, Florida state has a total score of 64-82.
Although the aggregate score is positive, it's largely because the Seminoles were able to hang 44 points on Boston College. Clemson added 31 points against the same opponent. Long story short, Florida State is a capable team and Clemson can't afford to take them lightly.
That said, the Clemson Tigers have been able to do a little more with a little less. The Tigers average 425 yards on offense while the Seminoles average 466 yards per game. That extra offense typically comes on the ground for Florida State, who average 200 yards a game on the ground.
Clemson's defense against the run game is far above average as they have allowed only 60 yards per game. Seminoles RB Treshaun Ward will have his work cut out for him to help out the offense.
Clemson RB Will Shipley has found the endzone eight times this season compared to three for Ward. Expect DJ Uiagelelei and Shipley to pull out all the big guns for Clemson's offense to take the pressure off their defense.
Clemson Tigers vs Florida State Seminoles Betting Prediction
This is going to be a hard-fought, close game. Clemson's defense will keep the Seminoles from running freely, and their offense will likely be able to keep pace for a small lead for most of the game.
The Tigers could score a late, clutch touchdown to lock themselves over the spread and cover, escaping with a great ACC win.
Prediction: Clemson -3.5 (-114), DJ Uiagalelei Over 1.5 TD Passes (-138)
