National predictions for Clemson-Virginia Tech game

On November 9, 2024By Littum

Cade Klubnik and the Tigers look to get back on track in Blacksburg.

Will Clemson bounce back or will the Tigers start a losing streak?

CBS Sports panel only has three taking the Tigers to cover a 6.5-point spread, and from an upset pick last week, three analysts are picking Virginia Tech to pull the outright upset.

Notably, though, the lone CBS Sports writer who picked Louisville in an upset last week, Shehan Jeyarajah, is taking the Tigers in Blacksburg.

Elsewhere, all three predictors at Athlon and all six prognosticators at USA TODAY like Clemson to get out of Lane Stadium with a win.

As of Friday morning, the streak is down to 5.5 points in Clemson’s favor. The Tigers are 4-4 against the spread this season, while the Hokies are 5-4.

Clemson has won six straight in the series since 2011 after Virginia Tech had won the previous five meetings from 1998-2007.

The six-game streak includes three wins at Lane Stadium, including a 45-10 win in the final meeting of the pandemic-hit 2020 season.

Clemson is No. 15 in SP+ and Virginia Tech is No. 27, giving 5-point projection there for the Tigers (63.9% win chance).
