CBS pick on Clemson-Georgia spread

Aug 29, 2024, 11:18 AM

CBS Sports analyst/Cover 3 podcast host Tom Fornelli likes Georgia to cover the 13.5-point spread against Clemson:

No. 1 Georgia vs. No. 14 Clemson: You have to love a matchup of two programs considered favorites to win their own conference right out the gate, which is what we have here. Georgia comes into the game after a disappointing season that saw the two-time national champions lose the SEC Championship Game to Alabama and get left out of the College Football Playoff. Clemson is coming off its worst season in more than a decade. The Tigers won only nine games last season, failing to win 10 games for the first time since going 6-7 in 2010.

The problem for Clemson is that while I have high hopes for it this season -- I picked the Tigers to win the ACC -- this is a difficult matchup at a bad time. I've never been a fan of QB Cade Klubnik, and it's hard for me to trust him against this Georgia defense. On the other side, there's QB Carson Beck and one of the best offensive lines in the country. One of the few offensive lines out there I believe can mitigate the damage done by the Clemson defensive line. I don't think the Bulldogs blow the Tigers out, but I don't believe the Tigers will score enough to keep it within this number. Pick: Georgia -13.5 (-105)
