Score Projection: Clemson 74 – Syracuse 70
Win Probability: Clemson 56%, Syracuse 44%
This game should be a close contest between two ACC teams off to strong starts this season. But I'm going to lay the points with Clemson on the road, as they have taken on much tougher competition and should benefit from that in this contest. Syracuse will put up a fight on New Year's Eve, but this game is Clemson's to lose as far as I'm concerned.
