Virginia Cavaliers vs Clemson Tigers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 10/19/24

The Virginia Cavaliers take on the Clemson Tigers in an ACC matchup. Virginia is 4-2 this season with losses to Maryland and Louisville and wins over teams like Coastal Carolina and Boston College. The Wahoos are in the upper tier of the conference with a 2-1 record, which puts them in 7th. Clemson is 5-1 with its only loss coming from Georgia to open the season. The Tigers are 5-0 since that loss and 4-0 in conference play. However, they have not played a team with a record above .500. For Virginia, this will be a good test to see if it is at the top of the conference or a step below, and for Clemson this will be their first real test since Georgia.

Clemson boasts 1 of the best offenses in the country. The Tigers average 39.4 points and 465.6 yards per game and without the Georgia game, they average 48.6 points per game — which would be 2nd best in the country. They are led by Junior quarterback Cade Klubnik, who has a 66.8 completion percentage with 1500 yards, 17 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. He has already almost matched his touchdown total from last season, which was 19. He will also be playing a Virginia defense that allows 269.5 passing yards per game, which is 119th in the country. Defensively the Tigers have not been as strong as in years past. They allow on average 25.8 points and 401.8 yards per game. The defense seems to be improving, though, only allowing 14 points or fewer in each of their last 3 games. Virginia is no slouch on offense, averaging 29 points and 432.2 yards per game. The Cavs are trending in the opposite direction of Clemson, only scoring 24 points or fewer in their last 2 games. Clemson is rolling and is set as a big favorite in this game because the oddsmakers know what we know — the Tigers are blowing teams out. Their average margin of victory in their last 5 games is 29.4 points. They are 4-1 against the spread and 5-0 straight up in their last 5 games. They are also 3-2 ATS in their last 5 against UVA and have covered the spread in 2 of their last 3 against the Cavaliers. Look for Clemson to continue to roll and cover a big spread at home.
