ACC football gets underway this week as No. 17 Clemson hits the road against Pittsburgh on Saturday. Here’s what the oddsmakers are predicting for the game.
Clemson bounced back from the Louisville loss by beating Virginia Tech on the road and moved to second-place in the ACC standings after Miami’s loss.
Pittsburgh dropped a second-straight game, at home to Virginia, that dropped the team out of the AP rankings entirely and threw another wrench into its ACC title hopes.
