FSU a Double-Digit Underdog at Clemson
After opening as a 12-point underdog for Saturday’s game at No. 1 Clemson, the Seminoles are currently slated as a 11-point underdog, according to Bovada. If the line holds, it would mark the first time FSU was a double-digit underdog under head coach Jimbo Fisher and the first time against an ACC opponent since the inaugural ACC Championship against Virginia Tech in 2005.
