ACC Best Bets

Stanford (+8.5) at Syracuse 

The SportsGrid model loves the Cardinal in this matchup. There is a concern that Syracuse’s passing offense can expose Stanford’s porous pass defense (surrendering nearly 280 passing yards per game). Still, there is a five-star projection of Stanford covering the 8.5-point spread in this game and losing by only five points on Friday night. Stanford was very competitive in Week 1 against TCU, as they only lost by seven points to the Horned Frogs. They followed that up with a 41-7 drubbing of Cal Poly and have had 13 days to prepare for the showdown with Syracuse. Traveling to the East Coast could be an issue, but the game is at 8:00, so the Cardinal will have no problem with body clocks being unprepared to play. Stanford averages 34 points per game, and Syracuse looked susceptible on defense against Georgia Tech. Grab the 8.5 points and take the Cardinal.

North Carolina State (+20.5) at Clemson

Hold your nose and take the Wolfpack in Death Valley. North Carolina State has won two of the past three matchups against Clemson and is getting 20.5 points against the Tigers this Saturday afternoon. There are no reasons to feel great about North Carolina State‘s chances in this game. The last time we saw Clemson, they were setting offensive records against Appalachian State, and Cade Klubnik looked like a new man, throwing the ball all over the field for explosive play after explosive play. North Carolina State should provide much more resistance than Appalachian State did, and this game is expected to be played at a slower pace as NC State tries to cobble together an offense that can find a rhythm. The SportsGrid model has a five-star projection on the Wolfpack, keeping this one closer than the spread and covering the +20.5. The pick is Clemson winning by 17, but the Wolfpack is covering the spread.
