283 Clemson (+5.5) over LSU
Clemson owns one of if not the best defenses this year and definitely the best pass defense. They led the nation allowing only 138.5 yards/game, 8 TDs to 17 INTs, 37 sacks and also led the nation in QB rating allowed (92.8). They also were tied for 1st in the nation allowing only 50.3% QB completion so Joe Burrow will have a tough task trying to crack this defense even though he’s had a special season. Clemson’s offense is also explosive enough to keep up with LSU’s offense with the pass or the run led by Trevor Lawrence. Another big factor is Clemson has been battle tested over the last 2 years as they are currently on a 29 game winning streak. Clemson also dominated a Alabama team in last years championship game with a healthy Tua and this year LSU won a close one vs Bama but Tua wasn’t 100%. I think Clemson is the better team and they’re getting more than a field goal. I took the points but I also like Clemson to win by 7 41-34.
