Clemson and Pittsburgh will face off for the ACC Championship in two weeks, and now that the Panthers clinched the Coastal Division, there is a betting line out for the game.
Clemson is favored by 20 points at opening.
Pitt did it behind a rushing attack that was second only to Georgia Tech in the ACC with an average of nearly 257 yards. QB Kenny Pickett threw a career-best three touchdown passes in Pittsburgh’s clinching win over Wake Forest, 34-13, on Saturday. It’s Pitt’s first time in the ACC title game.
The Panthers began the season at 2-3, but won five of six, including five ACC games in a row — to take their half of the conference. Undefeated Clemson knocked off Duke Saturday and will face South Carolina this week. Pitt is set to play at Miami.
The two schools have met twice, with the Panthers winning both times, the last being in 2016 with a 43-42 Pitt win at Memorial Stadium.
The game will be played Dec. 1 in Charlotte.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
