Clemson Facing Must-Win Situation On the Road

The Clemson Tigers got a win last week, beating the Virginia Tech Hokies on the road to improve to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the ACC. But the Tigers have to keep winning games to avoid a third loss that would almost certainly knock them out of College Football Playoff contention. Clemson’s defense got back on track last week, shutting down the Hokies and holding them to just 14 points. They will need a similar performance against Pitt to avoid their third loss of the 2024 campaign.

Pitt In Danger Of Playoff Hopes Ending

Just a few weeks ago, the Pitt Panthers were undefeated and looked like they could contend for a spot in the College Football Playoff. But consecutive losses from Pitt have put them in a position where they have to win against Clemson on Saturday to avoid their playoff hopes going up in smoke. Pitt’s once-potent offense has scored just 22 points per game over their last two games and will have a tall task ahead of it against a very good Clemson defense as they look to avoid a third straight loss on Saturday.

Clemson vs Pitt Betting Pick

The under is our best bet ahead of Clemson vs Pitt from Acrisure Stadium. Pitt’s offense has been struggling in a big way lately, while Clemson’s offense has been inconsistent through the air throughout the 2024 season. Look for both offenses to have their share of struggles and for both teams to play somewhat conservatively in a game that neither team can afford to lose in the ACC.
