I did a quick google search on the lines for this game:

 

LSU is a 4.5-point favorite over Clemson at FanDuel, and a 5.5-point favorite at DraftKings.

 

 

DraftKings also opened the total at 71 and dropped to 70.5.

ESPN had the early line at 3.5 for LSU.

While the betting favorite is LSU, I saw where the BPI gives the best shot of winning to Clemson.

Historically speaking, the team with the best defense beats the team with best offense.

Geaux Tigers.

 

Yessir!!!

It’ll be interesting to see what conference crew gets this game. It will be either Big 10, Pac12, or Big 12 I guess.

 

Already decided, PAC 12.

Thanks I thought it might be.

I look for the over/under to be something like 70. Maybe more.

 

I actually took 71 in a pool that I am in.

Please kindly see yourself out.

LSU 42-34.

Shame on me for not knowing this, but this game will feature the two highest paid assistant coaches in College Football:

 

LSU's D-Coordinator Dave Aranda: $2,500,000

Clemson's D-Coordinator Brent Venables: $2,200,000

This on-going debate between who plays in the "real" Death Valley is borderline entertaining.

I've got Clemson by a field goal.

Both places are tough venues for visitors! Real fans can accept that fact.

Clemson Wins 38-35

 

LSU, Ohio State and Clemson are all pretty even on talent. These teams this year reached a completely different level. Clemson coaching and experience will pull them through to victory. LSU will jump up by a couple scores, Clemson defense will adjust and LSU Production will slow down. Oklahoma getting smoked by LSU doesn’t mean much to me. They’re notoriously horrible on defense and had a couple of their best players out. At most LSU scores half of what they did vs Oklahoma.

 

LSU’s defense will not be able to cover the pass game, ETN and Trevor running it. Ohio State’s defense couldn’t contain it and their defense was a lot better than LSU. Clemson come back win part two.

Dabo is making the parallel that his team is Rocky (IV) Balboa and LSU is Drago and his Tigers are going into Russia.

 

Unlike Drago, I hope LSU is able to “break” Dabo’s worn out schtick.
