Alright let's get into it. Darian Mensah, zero interceptions, 14 touchdowns, and Malachi Toney with 559 yards and 6 scores in four games. This Miami offense is not human right now.

Nobody wants you to know this, but Miami just dropped 52 on Central Michigan at home on a Saturday night and now they walk into Death Valley. Letdown written all over this one. I'm taking Clemson.

Drew, you just went 2-5 on winners this season picking upsets. At some point you have to ask yourself if the circus is working.

@bigdaddy I also called Wisconsin over Penn State last week when every single one of you had Penn State. Who was right? That's what I thought.

I'll give you Wisconsin, @drew, but one right call does not make a system. I've seen a lot of football and I know what a team averaging 51 points a game looks like when it's real, and Miami is real.

The number that jumps out to me is Clemson's quarterback situation. Tait Reynolds has two interceptions and one touchdown on the season. Darian Mensah has fourteen touchdowns and zero interceptions. That is not a close comparison.

@trace That's exactly what everyone is saying, which is exactly why I'm going the other way. Gideon Davidson has 346 yards on the ground and Clemson is going to pound the rock and keep Mensah off the field.

Defense travels, son. Miami is giving up 9 points a game. Nine. Gideon Davidson running the ball is fine but Clemson still has to stop that offense and nothing they've seen this year looks like it.

I'm putting Miami 45, Clemson 10 on the board and I am not scared of Death Valley. Malachi Toney is going to cook whoever Clemson puts on him, it is not a fair fight.

@dtownz I respect the confidence but Clemson leads this series 2-1 all time and the last time these two met in 2023, Miami won 28-20. These programs know each other and it won't be 45-10.

I'll land at Miami 34, Clemson 13. Death Valley keeps it from getting ugly early but Miami's defense is too stout and Mensah is too clean to let Clemson hang around in the fourth quarter.

Clemson 24, Miami 21. Write it down. The crowd is going to be shaking the ground and this is the week the Hurricanes finally feel some real pressure. You all can have your chalk, I'll be right again.
