College Football Betting Lines – ACC Battle on ABC as Clemson hosts Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech and Clemson meet on Saturday in a rematch of last year’s ACC title game and the Tigers are favored in college football betting lines at SBG. If history is any indication this should be an exciting contest that goes right down to the wire in college football odds.

Nail-Biters – The last three meetings between these two teams have been decided by a combined 12 points. The Yellow Jackets won both meetings last year. They won 30-27 in Atlanta and 39-34 in the ACC title game in Tampa.  Clemson is a 6-point favorite in Saturday’s game that can be seen on ABC.

Tech is 5-2 Overall and 3-1 in the ACC – The Yellow Jackets are coming off a 42-14 win over Middle Tennessee State last week.   The game was never in doubt as the Yellow Jackets outclassed Middle Tennessee.  The Jackets are led by quarterback Joshua Nesbitt who is second in the ACC in rushing.  The Yellow Jackets are second in the country in rushing offense.
