Clemson Tigers CFB Week 8 Betting Lines
Since their opening day loss to the Georgia Bulldogs, the Clemson Tigers have sown themselves as a much better team that what was originally expected. Clemson has not lost since that first game and is looking like college football playoff material. Last week on the road against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Clemson flexed for an easy win and payout. This week, head coach Dabo Swinney and his charges will host the Virginia Cavaliers. Howard’s Rock will be rocking with another huge crowd. Virginia continues to struggle to gain traction under Tony Elliott, who lacks the full financial support of his administration.

The No. 10 Clemson Tigers overcame a slow start against Wake Forest to claim a 49-14 victory over the Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Saturday. Clemson extended its winning streak to five games and extended its undefeated streak over the Demon Deacons under coach Dabo Swinney. Wake Forest had hoped to upset an AP Top 10 team for the first time in 78 years.
The Tigers return home with a share of the ACC lead to host Virginia next Saturday. The numbers looked great for the Tigers by the game’s end. Quarterback Cade Klubnik threw for 309 and three touchdowns, along with no interceptions. His top deep threat, Antonio Williams, caught six passes for 69 yards and a touchdown while also throwing for a score on a trick play in the third quarter.
Tight end Jake Briningstool caught the touchdown on that trick play, as he finished with seven receptions for 104 yards and a score. Running back Phil Mafah added 108 yards and two scores, with both of his touchdowns set up by two second-quarter Clemson interceptions of Wake Forest quarterback Hank Bachmeier.
But, for the first time since their season opener, the Tigers started slowly on offense. In fact, they went without a touchdown in the first quarter for the first time since that loss to the Georgia Bulldogs in Atlanta. Wake Forest snagged the lead late in the first quarter as Bachmeier threw a 31-yard touchdown strike to a well-covered Horatio Fields.
