Clemson vs. Georgia Tech betting odds were available for Thursday night's game. SportsInteraction.com was offering Georgia Tech at -5 and they were getting much of the betting action. They were getting over 80 percent of the action on the spread in fact.
There is plenty of head-to-head matchup history to review for these two teams. While GTech has won four of the last five games in this series, they have failed to cover the current spread all but one of those times.
Some important Clemson vs. Georgia Tech betting odds trends include:
The Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog of 3.5-10.0.
The Tigers are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games as an underdog.
They are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
The Yellow Jackets are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
From ESPN.com:
Clemson's defense has been the strength of its team, and could be one of the best in the league, but the Tigers will obviously have to give Georgia Tech's run-based offense a different look than the six defensive backs and one linebacker it used against Middle Tennessee's spread offense. Georgia Tech's backfield is loaded, especially with the return of Jones.
"With this offense, the sky's the limit," Jones said. "If we've got everybody on the same page -- Josh is making good reads, Jon gets going running the ball well and we get blocks on the perimeter -- anyone is capable of having a big game. I think it's more about how far we've come as an offense. We want to play better than we did last week."
Linebacker Sedric Griffin, a South Carolina native who had his sights set on playing for the Tigers, said he's very familiar with Clemson's offense having grown up watching it.
"You can't come out lackadaisical and going through the motions," he said. "Clemson is a very talented team, and if you do things like that, you're going to get beat. We have to come out with 100 percent intensity and play full speed ahead. "
