The 2022 college football season is underway and Monday provides us with an intriguing ACC matchup. This battle will take place on Monday night when Clemson travels to Atlanta for a matchup against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. This contest kicks off at 8:00 pm ET and will be televised on ESPN.'
Let’s get into our same game parlay for this primetime matchup.
Clemson Football Tigers -23 over Georgia Tech Football Yellow Jackets (-115)
There are a lot of questions that Clemson has to answer this season, mostly as it relates to their offense. The Tigers will need a much better season from quarterback DJ Uiagalelei if they are to compete for an ACC title and College Football Playoff berth. Clemson’s passing game was quite poor and Uiagalelei had major issues with turning the ball over. However, a game against lowly Georgia Tech is the perfect way for Clemson to start the season with an emphatic victory.
Jeff Collins is just 9-25 in his 3 seasons as head coach of the Yellow Jackets football program, and it’s easy to see why. Georgia Tech simply doesn’t have the talent on both sides of the ball to compete with the best of the ACC. This is a nightmare matchup for the Yellow Jackets, as Clemson return its entire defensive line that is stacked with potential NFL talent and experience. The Tigers should undoubtedly own significant edges in the trenches in terms of size and talent. Going up against a Georgia Tech offensive line that returns just 37 starts from a season ago, the Tigers should control the line of scrimmage throughout the game. I expect Clemson to hold a 2-touchdown edge at the half and cover this number by the end of the 3rd quarter.
