SMU vs Clemson Preview & Picks

SMU are tipped to win the ACC Championship in their first campaign in the conference.

The Mustangs have dominated in their ACC debut, while Clemson are here because Miami choked on Saturday.

Therefore we have to stick with the team that has won and covered consistently in conference play.

  • SMU are 11-1 this season
  • SMU are 7-2-0 ATS in their last 9 games
  • Clemson are 1-5-0 ATS in their last 6 games
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of Clemson’s 11 games

Head To Head

  • This will be the first ever meeting between the two schools

SMU Form

SMU go into their first ever ACC Championship Game riding a nine-game win streak that includes a perfect 8-0 conference record.

The Mustangs went 3-1 as they started with four non-conference games, and when the ACC schedule began they went on a tear.

Playing in the conference for the first time in school history, they reeled off eight straight wins that included a couple of wins over ranked teams.

SMU beat Louisville 34-27 on the road in early October, and then started November with a 48-25 victory over Pitt.

The Mustangs closed out the regular season with a couple of comfortable wins, downing Virginia 33-7 on the road and California 38-6 at home.

Clemson Form

Clemson claimed a spot in the ACC Championship Game despite losing their final regular season game to finish 9-3.

The Tigers were blown out by Georgia in their season-opener, 34-3, but rebounded with a run of six consecutive victories, including four conference wins.

That streak was halted by a 33-21 defeat to Louisville, but they bounced back with a couple of hard-fought wins on the road, beating Virginia Tech 24-14 and Pitt 24-20.

Clemson then made it three-in-a-row with a 51-14 demolition of The Citadel, only to lose the regular season finale against South Carolina, 17-14.

That loss did not prove to be too costly for the Tigers though, as Miami’s defeat at Syracuse later that day gifted Dabo Swinney’s team a place in the ACC Championship.

Verdict

SMU have been a force in the ACC, routinely winning games in comfortable fashion.

Clemson, on the other hand, have produced several underwhelming outings, so we expect the Mustangs to complete a perfect first season in their new conference.
