Clemson Tigers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Point Spread and Free Pick

Clemson Tigers visit Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium, in a betting game televised on ABC.

The Yellow Jackets fall into syndrome (fading home teams that started the season 4-0 or better if the loss was preceded by their initial loss of the season and they are facing a .500 or greater conference foe) while the Tigers are ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’ fade (play against any road team off a SU win that went 6-7 the previous season).

Thus, since the Angles cancel one another out, we’ll turn to our Midweek Alert and it strongly recommends saddling up with Tech’s fourth-ranked rushing offense (321 RYPG) as it should find some rather large holes in Clemmie’s mediocre rush ‘D’ (169 DRYPG – #79 in the nation).

Our NCAA Coaches League also sides with the home dogs as it notes: Yellow Jackets’ head man Paul Johnson is 12-4 SU and 12-3-1 ATS as a pick or dog of 4 or less points and 2-1 SU and ATS as a dog of 15 or less points versus undefeated opposition.

Meanwhile, Tigers’ head coach Dabo Swinney is just 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS off back-to-back SU wins versus a foe off back-to-back SU losses.

Like Wisky and Oklahoma last week, look for the noose to get real tight tonight in Atlanta for the 5th-ranked Tigers as they drop to 3-8 SU in Bobby Dodd Stadium since 1990.

In this important Week Nine battle, we’ll ‘rush’ to judgment early in the week and call for the outright upset.
