Clemson vs Virginia Tech 07:00 pm Virginia Tech -3.5
Hokies will score this home win and cover over the slumping Clemson Tigers. Clemson, which is on straight-up slides of 2-6 and 3-8, has again been just an ordinary team this year under coach Oliver Purnell (42-45 in his third season at the school).
The Tigers are 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS in their last four highway affairs. They're 1-5 SU/ATS in their last six conference road games with losses by 6, 6, 15, 10 and 24 points. They did win at Georgia Tech (big deal), but truly this is just an ordinary club that doesn't play well on the road.
Clemson shoots only 42 percent away from home this year and has allowed its last five foes to connect at a 49 percent clip. Virginia Tech is off a solid 11-point home win over a Florida State and is holding visitors to only 42 percent shooting this season.
With their 75-74 overtime win at Clemson in early February, the Hokies are 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS versus the Tigers since joining the ACC. They got off a to a real slow start in conference play, but are a decent 4-4 both SU and ATS in their last eight games. At 14-13 SU overall and with a regular-season ending date at tough Boston College on the horizon, the Hokies understand that this is a big game if they want to make it into the NIT field.
The Hokies held the Seminoles to 43 percent shooting Saturday, while outrebounding the Noles and forcing 20 turnovers. It was a solid confidence-building effort and I expect more of the same tonight at Virginia Tech scores this home win and cover.
