Memphis vs. Clemson CBB Prediction:
Memphis has been all over the map this season. Penny Hardaway’s squad has a neutral-site win over UConn this year on November 25th and a home loss to Arkansas State last Sunday on their ledger. What’s more, Memphis is 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games. They could have trouble facing a good Clemson team in a hostile environment on Saturday.
Clemson is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 30-23-2 ATS at home since the start of the 2021 season. Furthermore, the ACC team from South Carolina is 26-20-1 ATS in conference games and 39-30-3 ATS after a win since the beginning of the 2021 season. I think Clemson will take care of business this weekend. I’m backing the Tigers wearing orange and white at home on Saturday morning.
