Clemson vs. SMU Player Prop Picks & Touchdown Prediction: ACC Championship

Clemson’s Cade Klubnik could be primed for a standout game while aiming to put the Tigers into the College Football Playoff and potentially spoil SMU’s dream season.

Our Clemson vs. SMU player prop picks and touchdown prediction envision the Tigers' passing game as a threat. Clemson faces an SMU defense that's been leaky against the pass while neutralizing opposing running backs all year.

Clemson takes on SMU (-2.5) in the ACC Championship at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET (ABC). Both teams enter as long shots in the college football championship odds.

I dove further into this matchup in my Clemson vs. SMU prediction.

Clemson vs. SMU touchdown prediction

Jordan Hudson anytime touchdown scorer (+200) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Clemson’s defense has allowed 31 touchdowns this season, and 18 have come through the air. SMU’s top receiving threats Jordan Hudson and Key’Shawn Smith have both recorded five touchdown receptions, with each hauling in a score during two of Clemson’s last three games.

While Smith’s anytime touchdown prices sit between +160 and +190 across our best sports betting sites, we can get +200 odds on Hudson to find the end zone from both BetMGM and FanDuel. That makes him much more appealing for this touchdown prop.

Best odds: +200 via BetMGM | Implied probability: 33.33%

Best Clemson vs. SMU prop picks

Cade Klubnik Over 1.5 passing touchdowns (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

SMU has allowed opposing quarterbacks to throw for multiple touchdown passes five times this season.

The adjusted offensive efficiency rankings of the offenses that accomplished the feat against the Mustangs' secondary were 69th, 25th, 122nd, eighth, and 89th.

• Clemson ranks seventh in the country in adjusted offensive efficiency
• Cade Klubnik threw for multiple passing touchdowns in nine of 12 games this season
• The Mustangs have surrendered only 10 rushing touchdowns compared to 20 passing scores this year

With most of our best sportsbooks between -140 and -150 odds for Klubnik to go Over 1.5 passing touchdowns, FanDuel offers an excellent price on this prop at -114 odds for one of your college football Week 15 predictions.

Best odds: -114 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.27%

Phil Mafah Under 82.5 rushing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

While Clemson's passing game should have its way with the Mustangs' secondary based on the statistical trends of the Tigers' season, SMU's run defense deserves plenty of respect.

• The Mustangs rank ninth in the country in run defense, allowing 101.5 rushing yards per game
• SMU has allowed an opposing rusher to clear this line only twice all season, and just once over its past six games
• Clemson running back Phil Mafah has failed to reach this rushing line in his last three contests

Mafah’s rushing total is consistent at 82.5 yards across our best sports betting apps. Under bettors should stay away from the -125 odds at Caesars for this prop.
