Clemson Tigers Odds

Clemson Tigers 2024 Season Preview

Clemson Tigers football will aim to bounce back from its worst season in 14 years when they take the field for the 2024 campaign.

Clemson posted a 9-4 overall record with a 4-4 mark in ACC last season. It was the most conference losses for the Tigers since also going 4-4 in 2010, head coach Dabo Swinney’s second season at the helm.

Second-year offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and junior quarterback Cade Klubnik will be central figures in determining if Clemson can ascend back to the top of the ACC.

Going into the 2023 season, Klubnik was touted as an under-the-radar Heisman Trophy candidate. However, Klubnik was inconsistent in his first season as a starter, finishing 80th nationally in QBR.

Overall, Riley’s offense underwhelmed, as the Tigers ranked 50th nationally in total yards per game.

Tight end Jake Briningstool has NFL potential and will be a key target for Klubnik. As for the ground game, Phil Mafah has the potential to be one of the top running backs in the ACC.

Despite losing some elite talent to the NFL, Clemson’s defense projects to be dominant once again. Last season, the opportunistic Tigers tied for the most takeaways in the nation (28) along with being a top-10 unit for total defense.

Key returning defenders for Clemson includes safety R.J. Mickens and linebacker Barrett Carter. The defensive line will be stout with promising players such as T.J. Parker and Peter Woods.

Clemson’s field goal kicking was wobbly last season to the extent that a retired former walk-on was summoned. True freshman Nolan Hauser, who booted a national-record 66 field goals while in high school, could be the answer for stability. Clemson will utilize an array of wide receivers for punt returns and kickoffs.

The neutral site season opener vs. Georgia will be a fascinating early measuring stick opportunity. Clemson doesn’t play on the road until its fifth game on Oct. 5 at defending ACC champion Florida State.

Regardless of the slate, for the Tigers to prove last season was an anomaly, they’ll need a rejuvenated offense and continued stingy defense.

Betting on the Clemson Tigers

Clemson Spread

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

• Clemson -2.5 (-110)
• North Carolina +2.5 (-110)

In this situation, Clemson is favored by 2.5 points against North Carolina. If the Tigers win the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on Clemson would come with a payout of $90.91. If the Tar Heels won the game outright or lost by two points or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Clemson Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say Clemson plays Virginia Tech and the over/under is set at 65 points. A wager on the over would require the Tigers and Hokies to score 66 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 64 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 65 points scored.

Clemson Moneylines

Check out this example:

• Clemson -160
• Miami +180

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Clemson the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Tigers odds would mean every $160 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Miami moneyline was set at +180, meaning a $100 wager would profit $180.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet on Clemson’s moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, Clemson would need to win by three points for that bet to be successful. The risk may be greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Clemson Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out an example below:

• Cade Klubnik 2024 passing yards: 2,850.5
