The current betting odds have Clemson listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Clemson has looked great in their games this season with their 18-4 record overall and their 8-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the ACC. They have been a good road team too with their 4-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, Stanford has looked good in their games this season with their 14-8 record overall, but their 3-6 conference record has them in the bottom half of the ACC. They have looked good on their home court too with their 9-5 home record this season. They have looked a lot better at home this year compared to their road games, but 5 losses at home so far is still a lot and they have struggled a lot more in conference play too. They have also looked terrible lately as they are 1-4 in their last 5 games and off a loss to Florida State in their last one, Florida State being one of the weaker teams in the ACC. They have struggled against bad opponents in the conference and now they have to play against one of the best. Clemson has been rolling in their games lately as they are 4-1 in their last 5 games and have won 2 games in a row now. Their only conference loss was at home against a good NC State team, but they have some really good wins in the conference under their belt and have also been beating up on bad opponents all year too. Look for Clemson to continue rolling against a Stanford team that isn't nearly as talented and has also been in a slump lately. The best way to place a bet here is on Clemson to cover the spread in this game.

"Kind of a workman-like win for us. Rusty a little bit at times, but I thought we did some good things in the first half on both ends. Then in the second half, we didn't handle a 17-point lead very well. I talked about it all halftime: the energy level, effort needs to be high because Pitt will continue to play the last 20 minutes really hard." - Brad Brownell after his team’s win against Pittsburgh in their last game. 

“Kyle [Smith]’s a terrific coach. They change defenses, do different things, so it’ll be a heck of a challenge to go out there, only to play very well to win.” - Brad Brownell on his team’s upcoming game against Stanford.
