Find out where we land in our college football picks for Virginia vs Clemson from Death Valley.

Virginia Gears Up For Huge Conference Road Test

Virginia is 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the ACC so far this season. They are coming off of a loss in their last game, as they fell 24-20 at home against Louisville. Now the Cavaliers hit the road for their toughest road game of the season, as their only other conference road game came against Wake Forest. The pass defense of Virginia will be tested by Clemson, as the Tigers are averaging nearly three passing touchdowns per game with Cade Klubnik so far this season.

Clemson Aims for Sixth Straight Win

There were questions about how Clemson would perform this season after dropping their season opener as convincingly as they did against the Georgia Bulldogs. But Clemson has addressed those concerns by winning five games in a row since then to improve to 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the ACC. The Tigers have allowed over 20 points just once in their last five games and they will look to continue dominating defensively to stay in the top-10 and move to 5-0 in ACC competition.

Virginia vs Clemson Best Bet

Our best bet for Virginia vs Clemson is for the Clemson Tigers to cover the spread as a 20.5-point favorite. Clemson finally has its passing game firing on all cylinders, which is going to be a huge problem for the Virginia defense. Look for Clemson to win a sixth straight game and to continue to prove that they are a playoff-caliber team.
