The Clemson Tigers are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four home games against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Tigers can keep their playoff hopes alive with another home win over the Yellow Jackets this Saturday.
Last Saturday’s bye came at a good time for the Tigers, who are coming off an ugly 27-24 loss to Syracuse as 23.5-point favorites. Quarterback Kelly Bryant left that game with a concussion and is being evaluated this week to determine if he will be able to return to action. If he can’t go, Zerrick Cooper will get the start after going 10-for-14 for 88 yards in relief of Bryant.
Georgia Tech has rewarded its backers with a fantastic 10-0 ATS and 8-2 SU record over the team’s last 10 games. Both of the straight-up losses over that stretch came by just one point. Quarterback TaQuon Marshall leads a rushing attack that ranks second in the nation in rushing yards per game with 372.8. The Yellow Jackets are just 2-8 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
