Clemson is worth +2.2 points (±4.4) more at home than on the road since 2018 — bottom third of FBS, 20th percentile.
83% at home, 74% on the road against FBS opponents (39–8 home, 29–10 away).
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads -3.1 at home vs. away over 73 games — inside the ±7.0 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.
Night kickoff — historically worth about half a point more to the home side against the number, and not much more than that. The visitors travel about 168 miles to get here.
