Two ACC teams will be meeting to start off the season when the Clemson Tigers take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
As many would expect, the Tigers are heavy chalk in this game. Right now, they are laying 23 points and the total is sitting at 51.
Game time in this contest is set for right around 8:00 EST from Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
When these two teams met in 2021, Clemson was able to win a defensive battle by a score of 14-8.
Georgia Tech will be looking to change the script a little bit on Monday as they have not exactly had a ton of success against their opponent in recent memory.
Clemson Tigers
Given the kind of lofty standards that they have, last season was definitely a down year for Clemson and they will look to turn in a much better season this year.
I am not saying what they did in 2021 was all bad, but there is no question they could have been a much better football team and there was certainly some frustration within that program because of their inconsistency and failure to capitalize on opportunities.
Going into this season, the hopes are once again high for this group as they are ranked as the #4 team in the country. It might sound odd to say, but they are a team that has to win back some people’s trust that they can once again be a top dog in college football.
We can talk about other positions on this roster, but the bottom line for this year is it all comes back to DJ Uiagaleilei who simply did not play well last year and was a very big reason why his team did not have the type of success that they envisioned.
Defensively, the Tigers were quite good a year ago and they return some key players on that side of the field. Still, even if they have a stout defensive unit, it will not mean a whole lot if they do not get the kind of production they need from their quarterback.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
There really has not been a ton of positivity surrounding the Georgia Tech football team in a long time and there once again is not a lot of hope for them this season.
This is a team right here that simply has not been relevant since Geoff Collins took over as the head coach and at some point, he has to deliver some better results or he will be out of a job.
The Yellow Jackets were not an overly talented team last season and they lost plenty of players on both sides of the field to the portal and graduation, so it is hard to envision them being all that impressive with some new faces.
Aside from a few exceptions, this squad just has not been overly talented for a long time which just makes it very hard to win at a consistent clip especially when they have to face tricky opposition such as Clemson in their opener.
They will look to shock the world on Monday when they are a massive underdog against the Tigers. Tech did keep things very close last season which definitely came to the surprise of many folks.

4* Clemson vs. Georgia Tech NCAA Betting Final Analysis:
I get that when these teams met a year ago, it was a close ball game, but I do not see that being the case in this one.
No matter how he does on Monday, it is still going to take a very long time to see if DJ Uiagalelei is truly back to being the guy he was touted as, but I do see this first game as a good opportunity for him and the offense to perform well.
As far as the offense goes for the Jackets, they are going to have an incredibly hard time moving the ball against this very talented Clemson defense, and unless something unexpected happens, it would shock me if they scored all that many points.
The Tigers might not play their sharpest football to open up their season and we will likely not learn a ton about them based on this game, but I still see this being a lot to a little when everything is over.
Give me Clemson as the big favorite in this neutral site tilt.
