Clemson vs SMU Props: Pony Up on Smith First TD Bet December 07 — Brashard Smith #1 of the Southern Methodist Mustangs | Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images/AFP

The SMU Mustangs went undefeated in their first ACC regular season and will be a slight favorite in the college football odds when they meet the Clemson Tigers in the league championship game on Saturday in Charlotte, N.C..

Both teams average more than 35 points, but scoring may not be as easy in this pressure cooker as they vie for a top-four seed in the upcoming College Football Playoff.

Bettors have to choose wisely for their touchdown makers, because there could be five, six or seven scores instead of 10 or more. Clemson has three big-time touchdown scorers and SMU could provide more variety and value.

Pick your winner and look for the best value before you make your best NCAAF game prop bets.

Top 3 Prop Betting Tips For Clemson vs SMU

1. Bet SMU’s Smith to Score First (+369)

SMU’s Brashard Smith has been one of the most productive running backs in the country this season with 1,157 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground, averaging 6.0 per carry. The senior has also caught three scoring strikes.

Smith, who has six 100-yard rushing games, does not give you a lot of value for 2+ touchdowns (+150) or 104+ yards rushing (+161), but if you include him in your first score NCAAF props and he hits you can fill the wallet.

If the talented back puts SMU up 6-0, you get +369 odds. He has seven touchdowns in the last five games and will get the ball when the Mustangs are close.

Bet Brashard Smith scores the first TD (+369).

2. Use Clemson Pass Catchers in Parlay Picks

Tigers quarterback Cade Klubnik can score on the ground (seven touchdowns), but he has put up great numbers through the air.

Per SMU vs Clemson stats, Klubnik boasts 29 scoring strikes and receiver Antonio Williams has pulled in 10 of them while also rushing for a touchdown. Williams has 66 receptions for 788 yards and will be Klubnik’s first option on most downs.

His second look might be to tight end Jake Briningstool, who is second on the team with 41 catches and five receiving scores. Briningstool gives you decent prop betting value for just one visit to the end zone (+179).

With Williams, you have to be a little more creative. If the sophomore registers at least 74 yards through the air, you get +125 odds and +245 for 94 yards or more. One touchdown gets you just +110 odds.

He’ll be open in CLT too 😮‍💨

First Team All-ACC selection, @a_williams2022, has been a playmaker for the Tigers by recording at least one receiving, rushing and passing TD this season while amassing 889 total YDs for 11 TDs@ClemsonFB | @ClemsonTigers | #ALLIN pic.twitter.com/nxjH4G3syC

Bet Briningstool to score 1+ touchdown (+179) and Williams to record 74+ yards through the air (+125) to start a nice college football parlay.

Parlay Pick: Jake Briningstool Anytime TD (+179) and Antonio Williams +74 yards (+125)

3. SMU Wins By 7-12 Points (+550)

If you are a Clemson fan or you like the Tigers to win their record ninth ACC Championship Game, look away. We think SMU wins the matchup in its first ACC season.

This game looks like it could be close through three quarters, with one team taking over in the final 15 minutes. The Mustangs are a solid college football best bet to be that team.

SMU quarterback Kevin Jennngs has been solid throughout and he has an abundance of talented receivers to go along with Smith. Roderick Daniels (+120), Key’Shawn Smith (+150) and Jordan Hudson (+170) have decent player prop value to score for the Mustangs.

Tight end Matthew Hibner (+179) is also a threat with three touchdowns in the last four games after talented TE RJ Maryland went out with an injury. SMU has so many weapons.
