Why Bet on the Clemson Tigers?

Last season, Clemson’s offense struggled in the early going. Not this season. The Tigers average 41.3 points per game from 425 total yards. Quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei has shown mass improvement. Uiagalelei has a TD-to-INT ratio of 5-to-1. If Uiagalelei continues his forward trajectory, the Tigers’ offense should play even better as the season continues.

Like football fans expected, Clemson’s defense has proven to be one of the best in the nation. The Tigers yield an average of 14 points per game. Opponents rush for less than 78 yards per contest. In 3 games, the Tigers have forced 5 turnovers.

Why Bet on the Wake Forest Deacon Demons?

Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman, a preseason Heisman Trophy contender, hasn’t disappointed. Hartman has thrown for 625 yards and 7 touchdowns to just 2 picks. One of the reasons Hartman has played so effectively this season is because he can rely on a strong rushing attack. The Demon Deacons average 128 yards per game. Wake Forest averages 42 points per.

Last season, Wake Forest’s Achilles Heel was their defense. So far in 2022, the Demon Deacons have played much better defense than they did in 2021. Opponents average 23.7 points per game versus Wake Forest’s D. The Deacons allow 192 passing yards. Teams average 125 rushing yards each game versus Wake Forest.

Clemson vs. Wake Forest Expert Betting Predictions

Neither Clemson nor Wake Forest have played a team college football fans would consider elite. Wake Forest’s three wins were against VMI, Vanderbilt, and Liberty. Clemson has beaten Georgia Tech, Furman, and Louisiana Tech. Because neither team has played a strong opponent, it’s difficult to know if their previous performances are mirages. One thing we do know is that Clemson doesn’t always step it up in September. The Tigers are a terrible 1-9 ATS in their last 10 September games.

We also know that this happens on Wake’s turf and that Clemson’s vaunted defense allowed G-Tech to score 10, Furman score 12, and Lousiana Tech post 20. Allowing bad teams to score isn’t a good sign heading into a battle against Wake Forest. Hartman is one of the better quarterbacks in the nation. He should do more than enough for Wake to keep this closer than the spread. Wake Forest covers.
