Clemson will come in likely ranked #2 in the country with one of if not the best QBs in the whole country. Auburn's defense in the 1st half of the season last year was absoutely dreadful, getting clobbered by LSU, Mississippi State and giving up 34 points to Idaho.
I know this game is at Jordan-Hare, but it won't matter. Watson is going to gash that Auburn defense all day and I don't think they'll punt once. Auburn will score maybe twice, but it still won't even be close.
Clemson will win by at least 24 points.
Clemson 38, Auburn 14

Where did you get your 9.5 I have only seen 7.5 the past 6 weeks. Anyway I do love Clemson to cover, I think Clemson is getting some line value going up against a SEC West home team. Clemson mighty young new starters on D though. Artavis Scott per catch only 9.7 per catch drop from 12.7 season before. Deion Cane 34-582 17.1 avg impressive freshman year. The Clemson offense is the best in the country surpassing the 38.5 they put up last year should be no problem. The Defense will take a step back early in the season. Clemson catches a break facing very poor passing teams with the exception of a week 5 game vs Louisville. Auburn matches up very poorly with no passing game to exploit the young Clemson Dbs. The Clemson run D will be fine against Auburn. I really have a hard time finding any matchup advantages for Auburn. Auburn was outgained by 35 yards a game last season, while Clemson outgained by 201 yards a game. Not much reason to see that much closing of the gap between the teams to see only a -7.5 road favorite for Clemson. My call Clemson 38-17. Enjoy your late Saturday night blowout winner.

80% of a game is determined on who has the better rushing and passing attacks. The remaining is special teams and penalties. Which matchup will Auburn win? Pass offense vs Pass defense? Rush offense vs rush defense? Pass defense vs Pass offense? Rush defense vs rush offense of Clemson? I see 4 check marks for Clemson. I do not see any special teams edge for Auburn. So you get home field advantage and 7.5 points good luck on that Auburn backers. This will be one of my huge week 1 bets while in Vegas and will bet put in many round robin parlays as well.

Dirtbags got any reasons? I am not 100% against that Arkansas St call but I'm 100% against the beat Clemson call. I think your just backing a SEC home dog without reason. How in the world do you see Auburn outscoring Clemson?

RockstarGator - strongly disagree, bro...Clemson may win, with Heisman finalist at QB, they should win...but, though initially liked Clemson as well...I cap this game as a pick...at Auburn, both played Bama tough late last season...Clemson D will be a WIP at the start of the season...if Auburn finds a QB with Malzahn innovation on O, they will test Clemson. This is a big time No Play for me...there will be better options on the board. PS - go to scout.com and do a apples to apples recruiting talent rating between these two teams. you will find it to be almost even. granted, HS talent evaluations are often flawed...but, I think one can honestly say, that neither team has a significant talent advantage - across the board...Since I won't be on this game, GL with the pick, and this is only perspective, so take it with a grain of salt. Cheers LHH

There are too many question marks on Clemson's D for me to make a play on the spread. One thing is for sure though, Clemson will score. Will keep my eye out on the Clemson TT.

Even if the teams are equal on average at other positions, the difference at QB is greater than the difference implied by the point spread.

Will wait for line to jump to +8-8.5 and jump Auburn. Think we see Clemson fall in this one. One of my favorite week 1 plays.
Game #2 with Auburn vs Arkansas State will be interesting. I totally see Auburn upsetting Clemson and then fall to Arkansas State.
Im with you on upsetting Clemson. Im going so much to say Clemson does not win the ACC championship game this year FSU AND MIAMI look like winning football teams this year

Longhorn do you seriously look at Clemson offensive skill guys and say their is not a talent difference? If they have no talent difference why would you not take a home underdog of 7.5?

Not sure its been mentioned, I have not mentioned in my post about this game. Mike Williams a Wr who had 57-1030 and 6tds 2 seasons ago returns from injury (he is a possible 1st round NFL talent)
