Clemson wont be looking ahead to the ACC championship game in Tampa, Fla. against Georgia Tech on Dec. 5th. This Clemson team is loaded on both sides of the ball and will be focused here on Saturday afternoon. The Gamecocks, meanwhile, have dropped three straight, including a 24-14 loss to top-ranked Florida two weeks ago.
If Tommy Bowden were still the coach of Clemson, I might be inclined to look for the Tigers to suffer a letdown today, but I am a big believer in Dabo Swinney, so I say to lay the small road wood with the Tigers against the fading Gamecocks. Clemson comes into Columbia riding a 6-game win streak, and they are 4-1 against the spread in those games, their only non-cover coming last week laying 3 TDs in a 14-point win at Virginia. South Carolina has lost 3 straight, and 4 of their last 5, and there is just not enough consistency for my liking to think they can spring the upset. Clemson has covered 6 of the last 8, and they have won 10 of the 12 series meetings straight up. The Tigers are on a roll right now, and I don't expect them to be stopped. South Carolina is already bowl eligible, and an injured team who has been worn down by the physical SEC schedule. Clemson pulls away in the 2nd half in a low scoring battle.
