Clemson football hasn’t been a home underdog in a long time.

But that’ll change next Saturday against No. 3 Florida State, according to a review of early Week 4 betting lines for one of the ACC’s top regular-season games of 2023.

FSU opened as a 2.5-point betting favorite against Clemson on FanDuel and DraftKings and a 3-point favorite on BetRivers and Caesars, according to those websites. The consensus line on VegasInsider.com is Florida State -2.5.

Clemson, which made six straight College Football Playoffs from 2015-20, has only been a home underdog three times in the last decade, according to Odds Shark data.

The Tigers most recently closed as a 1-point home underdog to Louisville in 2016 (a memorable AP Top 5 game they won 42-36).

Clemson was also a 4.5-point home underdog to FSU in 2013 (lost 51-14) and a 1.5-point home underdog to Georgia in 2013 (won 38-35).

The Tigers (2-1, 0-1 ACC) blew out Florida Atlantic, 48-14, on Saturday while Florida State (3-0, 1-0 ACC) escaped Boston College with a 31-29 win in its first conference game of the year.

Kickoff for next Saturday’s Clemson-FSU game is set for noon from Memorial Stadium. The game will be broadcast on ABC.
