Best College Basketball Bets for Tuesday: Clemson vs. Wake Forest

The “fishiest line of the day” award goes to this ACC battle. Clemson is one of the biggest surprises in the country after being picked to finish 11th in the ACC preseason poll. But, taking nothing away from its historic 7-0 start in conference play (its best in program history), perhaps oddsmakers believe regression is coming and are willing to ignore the Tigers’ 20-point home rout of the Demon Deacons to open conference play in December.

Wake Forest has lost ten of its last 11 games against Clemson. However, the Demon Deacons forced 19 turnovers in that first meeting, and Clemson was 24-for-25 from the foul line, something it would be hard-pressed to replicate. We expect Wake Forest to lean on a top-20 effective field goal percentage to perform better offensively than it did in the first meeting.

The favorite is 7-3 ATS in the last ten meetings between these teams, and we like that trend to continue in this rivalry game.

Bet: Wake Forest -2 (-110 at DraftKings)
