Clemson at Virginia SBG Odds Overview
On this occasion, we have a sportsbook matchup of two slumping teams. At the beginning of the season, Clemson built up an impressive record against weak opponents. But as the ACC schedule progressed, the Tigers have struggled to maintain success. Bracketology ratings give the Tigers only a 33% chance to make the NCAA Tournament. Cause by Clemson’s lack of quality wins.
By contrast, Virginia is blowing a strong opportunity to win the ACC championship. Of major concern is the horrible wagering value the Cavaliers have provided gamblers. Head coach Tony Bennett is a winner but has never produced a consistently reliable offense. And that is starting to eat away at Virginia’s 2022-23 campaign.
