Miami FL Take Perfect 4-0 Record To ‘Death Valley’
Clemson 3-1 After Three Consecutive Wins

Clemson are tipped to cover a double digit spread as a home underdog.

Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney have been sensational for Miami, but the offensive line continues to pile up penalties and an injury-hit secondary can be got at, so this feels like a lot of points.

Key Numbers – Can Clemson Make It 3 Covers In A Row?

Clemson have covered in their last 2 games
Miami failed to cover in their previous road game
The Under cashed in Miami’s previous road games
Clemson’s 2 previous ACC games went under 49.5 total points

Miami FL Take Perfect 4-0 Record To ‘Death Valley’

Miami head out on the road for the third time in ACC action boasting a perfect 4-0 record.

The Hurricanes - beaten in last season's National Championship - began their 2026 campaign with a trip to face conference rivals Stanford on Friday night, and they got off to a dominant start with a 45-6 win.

They followed that up in their home opener, as they beat an overmatched Florida A&M team 77-7 in a Thursday night matchup.

Miami then returned to conference duty with a Friday night outing at Wake Forest, and they fended off a second half fightback from the Demon Deacons to secure a 33-20 win.

The Hurricanes made it to 4-0 in their first Saturday game of the season a week ago, cruising to a 52-3 victory over Central Michigan.

Clemson 3-1 After Three Consecutive Wins

Clemson enter this big conference clash having rebounded from an opening-day blowout defeat with three consecutive victories.

The Tigers kicked off the season with a trip to face LSU, and it proved to be a miserable night in primetime as they were beaten 51-10.

They bounced back a week later, albeit in underwhelming fashion as they beat Georgia Southern 22-7.

Clemson made it back-to-back wins as they opened their ACC slate with a 28-20 come-from-behind victory over North Carolina.

The Tigers then took their win streak to three games - and their conference record to 2-0 - with a 24-10 win at California.

Verdict

Miami FL @ Clemson

Miami are the better team, but penalties remain a headache for the Hurricanes and they are dealing with a bunch of injuries, especially in the secondary.

This may not be the blowout that the sportsbooks are predicting.
