Initial betting line revealed for Clemson vs. SMU

The ACC Championship Game teams are set as the Clemson Tigers take on the SMU Mustangs next Saturday in Charlotte.

Clemson’s Saturday got off to a rough start on Saturday as the Tigers lost to South Carolina, 17-14. However, the day got much better as Fran Brown and the Syracuse Orange knocked off Miami to put Clemson in the ACC Championship Game.

FanDuel has posted the opening line for the game and it has the Mustangs as 1.5 point favorites. The total is also set at 55.5 points.

SMU has run the table in its first year in the ACC, with its lone loss being an 18-15 loss to BYU in September. The Mustangs have only had 2 ACC games within 7 points and have won their last 4 ACC games by nearly 23 PPG.

This is considered an eliminator game as the winner will be in the CFP while the loser appears to be on the outside looking in. This is the first year SMU has been in the ACC and it will be the first-ever matchup between these 2 teams.

Kickoff in the ACC Championship will take place next Saturday at 8:00 PM ET and the game will be at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. The game will be broadcast on ABC.
