  • Clemson are 3-3-0 ATS in their last 6 games
  • The Over has cashed in 7 of Clemson’s last 11 games
  • The teams combined for 80.4 points per game this season

Head To Head

  • Tennessee lead the all-time series 11-6-1
  • Clemson won 27-14 when the teams last met in January 2004

Tennessee Form

Tennessee finished the regular season with a 10-2 record after losing two of their last four games.

The Volunteers enjoyed an outstanding first two months of the season as they won eight straight games to challenge for the #1 spot.

This run included wins over five wins against teams who were ranked at the time.

Tennessee won 34-27 at #17 Pitt, beat #20 Florida 38-33 at home and then went out on the road to down #25 LSU 40-13.

The Vols then recorded their biggest win of the season, beating #3 Alabama 52-49 before blowing out #19 Kentucky, 44-6.

That set up a blockbuster showdown with defending national champions Georgia, but they were no match for the Bulldogs on the day as they lost 27-13.

They bounced back to beat Missouri 66-24 only to suffer a shock 63-38 defeat at South Carolina.

Tennessee wrapped up the regular season on a positive note though, shutting out Vanderbilt in a 56-0 road win.

Clemson Form

Clemson finished the regular season with a 10-2 record and won the ACC Championship Game.

The Tigers rode an eight-game win streak to start the season, beating three ranked teams along the way.

They won a sensational shootout with #21 Wake Forest in late September 51-45.

Clemson then beat #10 NC State, 30-20 and downed #14 Syracuse, 27-21, as they continued to pile up wins.

That streak finally came to an end in early November though, as the Tigers fell to a 35-14 defeat when they visited Notre Dame.

They bounced back over the next couple of weeks by beating Louisville 31-16 and Miami (FL) 40-10, but they saw their long-running home streak come to a surprise end a week later.

Clemson fell to a 31-30 defeat when they hosted South Carolina in their regular season finale.

The Tigers issued an emphatic response to that loss though, blowing out #24 North Carolina, 39-10, to win the ACC Championship Game.
