Pitt was expected to be a heavy favorite against Clemson in this week’s ACC championship game. So this week’s opening line was no surprise, really.
The Panthers opened as 20-point underdogs to the Tigers. Some could even argue that it should be more. Clemson has not just defeated its opponents but crushed them. They’ve beaten everyone by 20 points or more this year, with the exception of enduring a pair of close games against Texas A&M and Syracuse.
Scoring nearly 45 points per game and giving up only a little more than 12 per contest, it’s easy to see that they’re games haven’t been that close.
