The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are set to visit Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina for an ACC clash against the Clemson Tigers. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will have a new look as Geoff Collins will take over after the Yellow Jackets went 7-6 with a loss in the Quick Lane Bowl against the Minnesota Golden Gophers last season. The favorite in the QB battle looks like Tobias Oliver who contributed 876 yards and 12 TDs last year. The Yellow Jackets will return a solid duo at RB as Jerry Howard and Jordan Mason combined for 1223 rushing yards and 12 TDs last year.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets struggled on the defensive side of the field last season, and they will once again be looking for answers as they lost their top 3 tacklers from last year. DB Tariq Carpenter is looking to step into a bigger role this year after contributing 55 tackles and 2 interceptions during his sophomore season. The LB will be led by David Curry and Charlie Thomas who both showed flashes during the 2018 season.

The Clemson Tigers are looking to repeat their 2018 season as they went 15-0 with a blowout victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide in the National Championship. The Clemson Tigers will return Heisman favorite QB Trevor Lawrence who had a remarkable season last year as he threw for 3280 yards, 30 TDs, and 4 interceptions. Another name to watch in the Heisman race is RB Travis Etienne who contributed 1658 rushing yards and 24 TDs last year.
The Clemson Tigers had the best defense in college football last season as they only allowed 13.1 PPG, but they will have to replace a ton of key pieces this season. The Tigers will return their leading tackler in Isaiah Simmons who contributed 88 sacks and a team-high 6 pass deflections. The Tigers most noticeable difference will be on the defensive line as they lost a combined 25.5 sacks, but Clemson did a good job recruiting this offseason so don’t expect much of a drop off.

Free Betting Pick: Clemson Tigers -35
The home team has dominated this matchup ATS in recent history as they have covered in 7 of the last 9 meetings. The Clemson Tigers will once again be one of the top teams in college football, and they will waste no time showing that this season especially considering they get to open the season against a conference foe. The reason why I am backing the Tigers and this big spread is the sole fact that the Tigers offense is nearly unstoppable and there are just too many questions on the defensive side of the ball for the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech would like to show their new look program off to the world, but Trevor Lawrence and company will be too much at home. Final Score Prediction, Clemson Tigers win and cover ATS 48-10.
