Virginia Tech Hokies vs Clemson Tigers Predictions October 24, 2026
Virginia Tech will beat Clemson 27-24 in our forecast for Oct. 24, with Ethan Grunkemeyer’s productive passing connection with Que’Sean Brown providing the strongest reason to favor the Hokies. Clemson’s latest defensive performance makes this a low-confidence call. Neither Virginia Tech -1.5 nor the 49.5-point total offers a convincing betting edge at the supplied prices. The official SportsJaw recommendation is Pass.
Virginia Tech Hokies vs Clemson Tigers prediction and best bet
Virginia Tech gets the pick because its latest passing performance offers a promising way to challenge Clemson. Grunkemeyer threw three touchdown passes against Georgia Tech, and Brown accounted for 182 receiving yards. That connection gives the Hokies a plausible route to the decisive scoring plays in a close game.
The best betting decision is Pass. Clemson’s defensive dominance against Charleston Southern is a meaningful counterargument, even though it came against a different opponent. One recent game for each team leaves a fragile edge: enough to choose Virginia Tech as the winner, but too little to justify paying for either side or total.
