Clemson at Virginia

A pair of outstanding ACC defenses clash in this one. The Cavaliers are second in the ACC in scoring defense (61.2) and Clemson is third (62.4). Clemson has only one road win as the offensive struggles away from home, getting 65 at UMass and 48 at Georgia. Clemson is 15-5 UNDER the total when following a straight up win. #13 Virginia is a defensive powerhouse, allowing 68, 58 and 69 points the last three games, part of an 8-3 run UNDER. Virginia took Clemson apart 65-42 in their only meeting last season at Charlottesville. Look for a slow-paced start with the defenses dominating early. Play Clemson/Virginia first-half UNDER the total.
