Clemson hits the road for an ACC Atlantic Division showdown on Saturday with Wake Forest as a 7-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. 

The No. 5 Tigers (3-0) are 1-2 against the spread this season after failing to cover as a 33-point favorite at home against Louisiana Tech in Week 3. 

The Demon Deacons are 3-0 overall and 2-1 against the spread. Wake is coming off a 1-point victory over Liberty after being favored by 17 points at home.  

Clemson is a single-digit favorite for the second consecutive season and just the second time in more than a decade. The Tigers haven't lost straight up to Wake Forest since 2008 and beat the divisional champs 48-27 at Memorial Stadium a year ago as a 3.5-point favorite. 

Saturday's game at Truist Field begins at noon.
