We have a college football betting system titled "Ranked Matchups," which only submits picks when two teams in the top 25 meet, under certain conditions.
The first match of the 2024 season is a Clemson vs. Georgia spread pick from our 58% NCAAF PRO System.
The Tigers are ranked No. 14 and the Bulldogs are No. 1. The non-conference opener is set for 12 p.m. on Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia.
Top-ranked Georgia is led by quarterback Carson Beck. The offensive collectively lost Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey, but the new scheme features tight ends Oscar Delp and Ben Yurosek to lead the SEC powerhouse.
Head coach Dabo Swinney and the Tigers, meanwhile, reload with the same core. The offense will be led by quarterback Cade Klubnik, who has loads of experience. Clemson's defense remains solid, tying for the most takeaways in the nation and ranking in the top 10 for total defense last season.
Georgia is expected to win by double digits on Saturday in college football's Week 1. Let's see what historical data reveals about which top-25 team covers the spread in this spot more often than not.
