Why Clemson can cover
While many people ruled Clemson out following its loss to top-ranked Georgia at the end of August, the Tigers have inserted themselves back into the College Football Playoff conversation with a five-game winning streak. They have won all five of those games by at least 16 points, including a 49-14 win at Wake Forest last week. Junior quarterback Cade Klubnik completed 31 of 41 passes for 309 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in that game, giving him 17 touchdown passes and just one interception since the loss to Georgia.
Senior running back Phil Mafah had 19 carries for 108 yards and two touchdowns in last week's win, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. He has gone over 100 rushing yards in four of his last five games, giving Clemson one of the most explosive offenses in college football. The Tigers have covered the spread in six straight home games and have won their last five games against Virginia. See which team to pick here.
Why Virginia can cover
Virginia has been one of the most undervalued teams in college football since the beginning of last season, covering the spread at an 11-3-1 clip in its last 15 games. The Cavaliers are unbeaten against the spread in their last six road games, winning their first two road games this season. Their latest road victory came in a 43-24 win at Coastal Carolina last month, easily covering the spread as 4-point favorites.
Sophomore quarterback Anthony Colandrea had 131 passing yards and two touchdowns in that win, while junior running back Xavier Brown tallied a whopping 171 rushing yards on just nine carries. The Cavaliers added an outright win over Boston College at the beginning of October before covering the 7.5-point underdog spread in a 24-20 loss to Louisville last week. Colandrea had 279 passing yards and a touchdown while rushing for 84 yards in the loss to the Cardinals. See which team to pick here.
