Clemson at Louisville Free ACC 'Pick of the Week'

I am once again covering ACC football for SportsBettingStats.com and in this Saturday's 'Game of the Week' pick I have focused my attention on the biggest game on the slate in Week 3 of the college football season with the No. 3 Clemson Tigers going on the road as three-point favorites to face the No. 14 Louisville Cardinals. The winner of this game will be in the driver seat in the ACC's Atlantic Division when it comes to the race for this year's conference title, but more importantly, it will have a huge leg up on earning one of the four spots in this season's College Football Playoff.

Clemson has won the first three meetings straight-up since Louisville joined the ACC in 2014, but the Cardinals hold the slight 2-1 edge against the spread. The betting line at BetAnySports for this game has held steady at three points, but the total line has jumped from 56 points to 58.5 with most of the early betting money coming in on the OVER. The main storyline in this ACC tilt is the Tigers' shutdown defense going up against 2016 Heisman Trophy quarterback Lamar Jackson. Both have been extremely impressive so far starting with Clemson giving up a total of nine points in two earlier victories against Kent State and then-No. 13 Auburn. In his first two games against Purdue and North Carolina, Jackson has passed for 771 yards and five touchdowns against zero interceptions while also leading Louisville in rushing with 239 yards on 40 carries including three trips into the end zone.

ACC Week 2 Betting Report

The Florida State Seminoles dropped out of the No. 3 spot in the national polls following a disappointing 24-7 loss to Alabama last week and to make matters worse they also lost their starting quarterback Deondre Francis for the season with a leg injury. This loss opened the door for the Clemson Tigers to become the highest ranked team in the ACC at No. 3 in the latest AP Top 25, while Florida State tumbled down to No. 10.

The other three ranked teams in the ACC are all bunched together starting with Miami at No. 16 followed by No. 17 Louisville and Virginia Tech at No. 18.
