Georgia Tech will be in search of just its second win the ACC this season when it makes the trip north to Littlejohn Coliseum this Tuesday night to face the Clemson Tigers. This game is set to tip off at 7 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast on ESPN3.

The Yellow Jackets notched their first conference victory just this past Saturday with an 82-62 pounding of Wake Forest as 6.5-point home favorites. They are now 1-5 straight-up in the ACC but still over.500 overall at 11-7 SU. Georgia Tech is 7-9 this season against the spread and the total has gone “over” in six of its last seven games.

Clemson improved to 3-4 SU in the conference with a 77-70 win over Virginia Tech last Saturday, but it could not cover as an 11.5-point favorite at home. The Tigers are now 11-8 SU on the year and still a profitable 10-5 ATS. They are 7-3 SU (3-4 ATS) at home, and the total has stayed “under” in five of their last six games.

Georgia Tech at Clemson Picks and Betting Predictions

These two teams are pretty much evenly-matched with a very pedestrian offense to go along with a defense that has done a good job keeping the scores down. While a play on the under in a contest such as this is always worth a hard look, stick with Clemson at home to win and cover the six-point spread when betting the sides.
