Orange Bowl Odds - Clemson vs. Tennessee

2022 Orange Bowl NCAA Football Betting

Tennessee appears to be headed in a great direction as a program in the second season of the Josh Heupel era. They reached ten wins, and Hendon Hooker was a real Heisman contender before suffering a season-ending injury late in the regular season. The Vols will play in their 55th bowl game in program history as Joe Milton will get the start at quarterback in this matchup. Clemson will be making its 18th consecutive bowl game and 49th overall appearance with a record of 26-22. Last year the Tigers beat Iowa State 20-13 in the 2021 Cheez-It Bowl. The Tigers are fresh off throttling North Carolina to win another ACC Championship under head coach Dabo Swinney.

Orange Bowl Format

The Orange Bowl debuted in 1935, and the matchup currently features schools from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and the Big Ten Conference. The game takes place at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, as the previous venue for this contest was the Orange Bowl in Miami from 1938-1999. This game was named the FedEx Orange Bowl and the Discover Orange Bowl before Capital One acquired sponsorship rights in 2014.

The underdog had won each of the past four matchups. Until Wisconsin snapped the streak by covering 34-24 against Miami, Fl. in the 2017 installment. Clemson has appeared in three of the last six Orange Bowl games, while Nebraska has made the most appearances in this game with 17 (8-9 record).

In the 2018 installment, a College Football Playoff semifinal, Alabama fired out to a 28-0 lead, setting an Orange Bowl record with 21 first-quarter points. However, the Sooners hung around and found the end zone late for a backdoor cover, helping the underdogs to a 5-1 ATS mark across the past six Orange Bowls. The Sooners also stopped inside the red zone in the final minute, as most bettors hung on for the 'under' result.

The SEC has dominated the Orange Bowl lately, with Alabama, Florida, and Texas A&M grabbing victories from 2018-21. In the College Football Playoff semifinal, Georgia routed Michigan by a 34-11 score to advance to the national title game.
