The College Football National Championship game is almost here and I have the free pick winner. This battle is between the #3 Clemson Tigers vs #1 LSU Tigers. Kickoff is set for Monday Night, January 13th at 8:00 PM ET at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. LSU opened up as -3.5 Point Favorite, but it’s now moved all the way up to -6.5 at the -115 price. The over/under is currently at 69.5 total points. The betting public has 75 percent of their money on LSU as the favorites.
LSU clearly has the home crowd advantage playing in their backyard, but Clemson is used to the pressure since they defending national champions and playing in the national championship game for the fourth time in five years plus they have Star Quarterback Trevor Lawrence at the realms, who is 25-0 as the starter. Top seeds have twice bowed out in the semifinals and are 0-3 in the title game, and Clemson’s two titles in the past three years came as the No. 2 seed.
In Clemson’s last game, Trevor Lawrence led the team with an impressive performance against Ohio State and managed to erase a 16-0 deficit to win 29-23. Clemson is ranked fourth in the nation scoring an average of 44.2 points per game, while defensively ranked number one only giving up 11.3 points per game. The Tigers are ranked 16th in the nation on the ground, putting up 232.8 rushing yards per game and defensively ranked 11th, only giving up 110.5 rushing yards per game. Clemson is 8-1 against the spread in their last 9 games when playing as the underdog and 14-0 straight up in their last 14 games this season. Clemson is 5-0 straight up in their last 5 games against an opponent in the SEC.
Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow broke records in the Peach Bowl, throwing for eight touchdowns against Oklahoma and leading LSU to a 63-28 blowout win. Since mid-November, nobody has belonged on the same field with LSU. They demolished Texas A&M (50-7), then Georgia in the SEC Championship game, 37-10, then kept that momentum going against Oklahoma (63-28). LSU is averaging 397.2 passing yards per game but will face the No. 1 pass defense that’s only allowed 151.5 yards. LSU averages 170.5 rushing yards per game, while defensively giving up 124.2 rushing yards per game. LSU is ranked number one in the nation, scoring up average of 47.6 points per game and defensively ranked 28th, giving up 22.2 points per game. LSU is 11-3-2 against the spread in their last 16 games and the total has gone over in 12 of their last 17 games. LSU is 10-1 straight up in their last 11 games against an opponent in the ACC. The best opportunity to make money to money in this College Football National Championship game between Clemson and LSU is to go ahead and buy that half a point and take Clemson +7 at the -125 price.
