Clemson vs. Georgia Tech Prediction

I’m on Clemson in this game. I get the case to be made for Georgia Tech being at home, as it’s where the Yellow Jackets have played their best basketball this season. However, Clemson in my eyes is just the better team across the board, and I’m just not a fan of this Georgia Tech squad as I think the Yellow Jackets are one of the bottom 3 or 4 teams in the ACC this season. The Tigers should be able to take care of business on the road and the line is more than reasonable here so I’ll lay the points with the Yellow Jackets in this game.
