Clemson vs San Francisco Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with 4-1 records to start the season and they have very similar stats through five games. San Francisco did beat Boise State earlier this season, while Clemson lost by 13 points to that same Boise State team. Both of these teams have been very good defensively and I think we are going to see a lower-scoring game here. Take the under.
