ACC Conference - Clemson Tigers PreviewAfter going 6-5 in '04, the Clemson Tigers set their goal to reach a bowl eligible record and leapfrog it. They finished the regular season with seven wins, and got their eighth in the Champs Sports Bowl where they ousted Colorado 19-10. Clemson closed last season by winning four strait games, and six of its last seven. Their 4 losses only gave up a combined 14 points, and Head Coach Tommy Bowden's tenure could be in store for their best campaign yet. The Tigers return 15 starters from last year, and are aiming at their first-ever BCS berth.Click for a list of college football betting predictions! The offense loses Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst, but new QB Will Proctor is more of the prototypical QB that Offensive Coordinator Rob Spence likes using in his offense. He has the mobility to torch defenses with his legs if he can't find anything downfield that will allow the Tigers to toss the ball. This will mean more TDs this season for Clemson. His O-Line returns completely intact and is one of the best in the Conference. RB James Davis was chasing his 1000-yard season but fell short cut when he suffered an injury, but he should become the first 1000-yard Clemson RB since 2001 provided he stays healthy. All of last year's receivers are also back, which gives the Tigers a solid shot of surpassing the 27 PPG they averaged last year even with the loss of their QB. The defense struggled early last season turned it around in the final seven games only allowing 14 or more points twice. Injuries aside, there shouldn't be a drop in production this year as this is a strong compliment to their solid offense. Special teams look special. All of the key players have returned, and they add some new players to the mix that should have this unit back on track in '06. Check out Bodog and start winning NOW!

The schedule is brutal with road trips to BC, VTECH and Florida State but this team did beat three top 20 teams for the first time since 1989. Assuming they split their first two road games they should be in very good shape. 1800 Sports is back with plenty of free football predictions from the Worlds best handicappers! --- by Bones McCoy at 1800-sports.com on September 09, 2006
