South Carolina vs. Clemson Betting Prediction
Clemson has dominated their rivalry with South Carolina over the past decade. In the past 10 matchups between these Palmetto State rivals, the Tigers are 8-2 straight up and 6-4 against the spread. The line for this game currently sits at Clemson -2.5. The last time the line was nearly this small was in 2014. Clemson was playing at home and favored by 3.5 points over South Carolina in that matchup. The Tigers easily defeated the Gamecocks 35-17 in that late-November contest. I could see this game playing out in a very similar way. The public really likes South Carolina in this matchup, but I don’t. I’m laying the points with Clemson at home in this non-conference rivalry clash.
