The Auburn Tigers travel to Death Valley to take on the Clemson Tigers in a big early season non conference matchup. In week 1 these teams made quick work of their overmatched opponents. Auburn took on Georgia Southern and were methodical in their win, taking a 24-7 lead at halftime on route to a 41-7 win. Auburn did not cover the official closing line of 34.5 although many bettors did push. The 48 points went well under the posted total of 59. Clemson on the other hand dominated Kent St from start to finish. They scored 28 points each half and won 56-3 easily covering the 38 point spread. The total went over 52.

For this RideTheHotHand free pick we will go after the total. These 2 teams will go only as far as their 2 inexperienced quarterbacks will take them. Auburn starts redshirt sophomore Jared Stidham who did have some playing time in 2015 but missed all of last season. Clemson counters with Junior Kelly Bryant who served as Deshaun Watson’s backup the last 2 seasons. Both of these quarterbacks are talented enough to have special seasons but neither broke much of a sweat after their week one wins. They will be thrown into the fire this week for the first time as both defenses will crowd the line to stop the running games and dare them to pass. We expect conservative game plans to limit mistakes and keep the score low. Last years game between these teams ended with Clemson winning 19-13. We expect a very similar game. Take the under. THE PICK: UNDER 55.5
