Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech (-6), Thursday, 7:30 p.m. ET, on ESPN
Since 2015, Virginia Tech (4-2 SU, 3-3 ATS) allows 15.5 points per game as home chalk in ACC play at Lane Stadium, including 10, 7, 3, and 14 in its last four under these betting conditions. Georgia Tech (3-4 SU, 2-5 ATS), on the other hand, has covered the spread in seven of eight against the Hokies catching points on the college football oddsboard behind run-option head coach Paul Johnson.
Miami at Boston College (-2.5), Friday, 7 p.m. ET, on ESPN
Miami (5-2 SU, 3-4 ATS) is kicking off an underdog against ACC competition for just the third time under head coach Mark Richt. It failed to cover the spread in the prior two (Va. Tech, 2016; Clemson, 2017), allowing 37 and 38 points respectively. Boston College (5-2 SU, 4-2-1 ATS) is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in its last six as home chalk.
Clemson at Florida State Saturday, Noon ET, on ABC
Clemson’s (7-0 SU, 3-4 ATS) offense is rolling. Its 104 combined points over the last two games is the sixth most ever in consecutive efforts under 10-year head coach Dabo Swinney. The rushing game is particularly effective this year. The Tigers accrue 6.4 yards per carry, the third best rate in the county.
Florida State (4-3 SU, 3-4 ATS), meanwhile, is starting to gel after a rough few opening weeks behind first-year head coach Willie Taggart. Over the last four games, the defense is yielding only 22.0 points and 329.3 total yards per contest. It allowed 26.7 and 488.0 through its first three tilts respectively.
Wake Forest at Louisville (-2.5), noon ET, on ACC Network
Including its loss against Notre Dame, Wake Forest (3-4 SU, 1-6 ATS) is yielding 49.5 points per game to Power 5 opponents. The up-tempo offense is not aiding the defense against good teams. Louisville (2-5 SU, 1-6 ATS), meanwhile, owns the worst spread margin (-14.1) among all FBS programs.
North Carolina at Virginia (-9.5), 12:20 p.m. ET, on ACC Network
Virginia (5-2 SU, 6-1 ATS) has never laid more than 6 points to an ACC opponent behind head coach Bronco Mendehall. One has to go back to 2011 (Duke) to uncover the last time the Cavaliers gifted more than 9 points in this scenario. Since the start of last season, North Carolina (1-5 SU, 3-2-1 ATS) averages just 17.6 points in regulation time in conference road games.
Duke (-3) at Pittsburgh, 3:30 p.m. ET, on ACC Network
Duke (5-2 SU, 3-4 ATS) is 33-22-1 ATS (60.0 percent) all-time in ACC away contests under head coach David Cutcliffe. When the line falls within a touchdown, the record improves to an astonishing 20-6 ATS (76.9 percent).
No. 22 N.C. State at Syracuse (-1.5), 7 p.m. ET, on ESPN2
N.C. State (5-1 SU, 3-2-1 ATS) has claimed victory once in its last five contests when ranked and facing off against an unranked foe, despite going off with a -0.7 average line. Syracuse (5-2 SU, 5-2 ATS), on the other hand, has covered the spread in its last four against ranked competition
