ClemsonGeorgia Tech Opens Saturday as NFL Week 2 Odds Move on Key Injuries

Late-week injury updates trimmed Clemson’s edge, reshaping several NFL spreads.

Overview

  • No. 12 Clemson visits Georgia Tech at noon ET in the rivalry’s 90th meeting at Bobby Dodd Stadium, with the Tigers’ nine-game series win streak facing a stiffer test than markets first projected.
  • Georgia Tech QB Haynes King was a late Week 2 scratch with a lower‑body issue and returned to practice; his status has been monitored into gameday.
  • Clemson’s line slid from roughly -6.5 to -2.5 in some books after uneven early form from Cade Klubnik and growing confidence in the Yellow Jackets, though the Tigers lean on a highly regarded defensive front led by Peter Woods, T. J. Parker and transfer Will Heldt.
  • FOX’s five-game NFL slate Sunday is headlined by an Eagles–Chiefs Super Bowl rematch in Kansas City, shaping the network’s Week 2 focus.
  • Reports say 49ers QB Brock Purdy will miss multiple weeks with a toe injury and TE George Kittle is on IR, moving the Saints matchup from -7 to -3, while secondary injuries for the Seahawks and Steelers pushed Pittsburgh to -3 with the total down near 39.5.
