College Basketball Betting Trends
Clemson
The Tigers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Clemson is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games as a road underdog.
Florida State
The Seminoles are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. The home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.
Prediction:
The Seminoles are tough at home and will want to bounce back from the poor performance at Indiana. Florida State is stout defensively, fifth in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency. With the Tigers’ main struggles being on offense, I don’t see them keeping up with the Seminoles this afternoon. Clemson lost by 13 at FSU last season and another double-digit defeat is in the cards again today in my opinion.
