Furman Paladins vs. Clemson Tigers, one of many matches scheduled between FCS and FBS teams for the second week of the college football championship, face off this Saturday in a matchup of undefeated teams.
Furman opened the season with a 52-0 thrashing of North Greenville, something that has them dreaming of improving on last season’s performance, when they finished with a 6-5 record in the FCS Southern Conference. For its part, Clemson saw action last Monday and comfortably defeated Georgia Tech by a score of 41-10 .
Without further ado, JefeBet brings you the preview for the Furman vs Clemson game.

Betting on the Furman Paladins
- Regular Season Record: 1-0.
- Spread: +44.5.
- Moneyline: (+2500).
- Over/Under: 54.
The differences in games between FCS and FBS teams are noticeable, so the Paladins will need a lot of effort and a good performance, like the one they had against North Greenville, not to fade against Clemson.
This was Furman’s first clean sheet since the 2003 season, and their strong offensive output of 589 total yards is a big incentive to face a team that is considered the fifth best in the nation according to the AP Rankings.
Furman was Clemson’s first-ever opponent in 1896 and they haven’t met since 1979, so it’s a good opportunity to make history again and leave Death Valley with a good performance.
Betting on the Clemson Tigers
- Regular Season Record: 1-0.
- Spread: -44.5.
- Moneyline: N/A.
- Over/Under: 54.
Although Clemson got off to a good start in the NCAAF season, things didn’t look good for a while as they were up 14-10 against Georgia Tech in the third quarter.
However, the Tigers scored 24 points after that with no response from their opponents to finish with a huge victory in their quest to dethrone Wake Forest from the Atlantic Coast Conference title.
Clemson’s defense allowed 237 total yards, while quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei started well by completing 19 of 32 passes for 209 yards, a touchdown through the air and another on the ground.
JefeBet Prediction
The Paladins are coming off a strong start to the season with a resounding victory and proof that they can compete with any team, including Clemson this Saturday.
Furman’s offense was super explosive and while the Tigers’ defense is solid, we expect some points to be scored. Of course Clemson is favored because they are a much more complete team on both sides of the gridiron, but they will need to be much more solid in their play than they were against Georgia Tech if they don’t want to have a bad time.
Prediction: Furman Spread .
