CLEMSON vs FLORIDA ST PREDICTION PICK

The Clemson Tigers started the season hot but have cooled off their last 2 games, getting dominated by G. Tech and Virginia by a combined 53 points. Florida State on the other hand started off the season facing injuries and covid issues but have turned the corner the last 3 games beating NC State, UNC, and Louisville by an average of 17 points while averaging 88 points per game. Florida State has a lot of size and length to match Clemson paired with a much better offensive team. FSU played terribly in their loss to Clemson in December and you can count on Coach Hamilton having these boys ready to dominate this game. The Bookie is rolling with the Florida State Seminoles to cover the spread in a game that has a good chance of going Over the Total if Clemson can prevent a blowout.
