(POD) NCAAF National Championship Clemson vs LSU(L)

 These two college football powerhouses, oddly enough, don't have much of a history playing each other but the two times they have met, those games have had similar lines. in 1996, Clemson was a dog of 5.5 points and lost the game while covering the spread. In 2012, they were 6 point dogs and won the game outright.

Clemson has been battle-tested, they have 2 championships in the last 3 years and are not only dogs betting-wise but much of the public isn't giving them their due respect either. I get it, LSU is a great program and they've been trucking everybody they've played. They haven't faced much adversity, however. Clemson has the stingiest defense of these two teams allowing only 11 points per game to LSU's 23 ppg and they also average more yards on the ground 246 to 166. Clemson has a good pass defense, which is what LSU specializes in, with allowing only 181 yards through the air.

Of course, with all of this said, LSU won't be shut out completely, but they also shouldn't have the freedom to move up and down the field on these defending champions who have had a few weeks to prepare for LSU and LSU only.

PLAY OF THE DAY: Clemson +5 -110 risking 2.2u
