The No. 12 Clemson Tigers and Georgia Tech will kick off their ACC schedules when the two clash on Saturday. Clemson (1-1) is coming off a closer-than-expected 27-16 victory over Troy last week, after the Tigers dropped their season opener to LSU. Georgia Tech (2-0) manhandled Gardner-Webb, 59-12, a week ago after the Yellow Jackets defeated Colorado on the road in Week 1. This is the 90th all-time meeting between the two programs, and Clemson has dominated the series as of late with nine straight victories.
Kickoff is at noon ET at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. The Tigers are 3-point favorites in the latest Georgia Tech vs. Clemson odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 51.5, down from opening at 54.5.

Why Clemson can win
The last nine meetings between these two indicate why the Tigers can both win and cover as Clemson is riding a nine-game win streak versus Georgia Tech. The last matchup in 2023 saw a 21-point victory for Clemson at home, while the last meeting in Atlanta in 2022 saw the Tigers prevail by 31 points. Dabo Swinney’s crew has also taken care of business against the spread (ATS) against Georgia Tech with only a single ATS defeat during this nine-game win streak.
This will be Clemson’s first road game of the season after the team went 4-0 in away games during the 2024 regular season. Quarterback Cade Klubnik seems to play his best in hostile environments as he had 11 total touchdowns versus just two turnovers in ACC road games in 2024. Clemson also enters this contest with the turnover margin edge as it has five takeaways over its two games, while Georgia Tech has committed five turnovers, including a pair versus an undermanned Gardner-Webb team.

Why Georgia Tech can win
The Yellow Jackets enter on a six-game home win streak and are 8-1 over their last nine at home, with the only defeat coming versus then-No. 1 Georgia in 2023. Additionally, Georgia Tech has covered in both of its games this year, while Clemson is 0-2 ATS. The Tigers have also underperformed when in position as the favorite as the Tigers have lost five straight versus the spread when favored. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech embraces the role that it will be in on Saturday as it has covered in four straight as a home underdog.
The Yellow Jackets’ are rolling on both sides of the ball as their 457 passing yards last week were the second-most in program history, while the six sacks the defense racked up was the team’s most in two years. While the competition wasn’t elite, Georgia Tech did flex its muscle in the ground game a week earlier when it ran for 320 yards versus Colorado. It should be the superior offense on the field as Clemson is struggling on that side of the ball as the Tigers rank 104th (out of 136 teams) in total offense and 122nd in rushing offense.
