The Tigers and Cardinals square off in an ACC matchup Friday night at 7:30 PM ET on ESPN.
SBR's Matt Jacob has his best Clemson vs Louisville player prop bets ready to go:
Chris Bell Over 6.5 receptions (-120 via FanDuel)
"Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell has seen double-digit targets in five of his last six games, and he was targeted nine times in the other contest. His reception totals during that stretch were: 10, 12, 9, 4, 8, and 6. So Bell has topped this Clemson vs. Louisville prop projection four times in the Cardinals’ last half-dozen outings.
Further proof that Bell and quarterback Miller Moss have a strong rapport: Bell has a team-high 62 catches, 792 yards and six touchdowns - that’s 14 more catches, 310 more yards and four more scores than any of his teammates. Throw in the fact that Clemson has the nation’s 108th-ranked pass defense and has allowed the 16th-most completions in FBS, and I expect Moss and Bell to play pitch and catch all night."
Cade Klubnik Under 14.5 rushing yards (-114 via FanDuel)
"Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik has racked up 117 rushing yards in eight games, for an average of 14.6 yards per game - so exactly what he’s projected for Friday night. Ah, but a deeper dive into Klubnik’s game logs reveals this nugget: 110 of his 117 yards were compiled in two games (62 at Georgia Tech and 48 at Boston College).
Klubnik’s rushing yardage output in his other six starts: 1, -4, 1, -4, 12, and 1. It’s worth noting that Boston College and Georgia Tech - the two teams Klubnik ran over - rank 100th and 98th, respectively, in rushing yards allowed. Louisville? It ranks 22nd in both rushing defense (108.7 yards per game) and yards per rush (3.32)."
Miller Moss Anytime touchdown scorer (+225 via Caesars)
"Miller Moss has nearly as many rushing touchdowns (seven) as passing TDs (11). Six of the Louisville quarterback’s ground scores came in his last six games, including a two-TD performance against Boston College three weeks ago. The odd part? Moss isn’t mobile: He’s carried 39 times for -73 yards. However, he is a goal-line assassin, with five of his seven scores coming from the 1-yard line.
To be fair, Clemson has only surrendered nine rushing TDs in nine games. And Georgia Tech’s Haynes King is the only QB to cross the goal line versus the Tigers. But I’m still riding the hot hand with Moss, who should get at least one goal-line opportunity (probably after Clemson’s shabby secondary gets called for pass interference)."
