Clemson Georgia Tech Prop Bets Monday Night College Football

The Double/Double on Clemson leading after the first half and winning the game pays $10 for every $47.50 bet.  Compare that to the moneyline of -2500 on the Tigers to win outright and you see how, though still pricey, some prop bets do offer tremendous value.  News flash: We don't see Georgia Tech leading at any point during this game.
