FiveThirtyEight has Clemson at a 52% chance of beating the Tigers from Baton Rouge. ESPN’s FPI gives them an even better shot at 55.9%. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

See, this is what I have been preaching to all of you. I don’t care that the oddsmakers are favoring Ed Orgeron, Joe Burrow, and LSU.
I don’t care at all. Sure, it’s the sexy pick, and it’s the easy decision to make. However, Clemson isn’t going to roll over and die for Coach O’s squad.

In fact, I think there’s a very good chance Clemson walks out holding the trophy at the end of the night January 13.
Trevor Lawrence picked apart Ohio State, and the defense the Buckeyes have is lightyears more impressive than anything LSU can put on the field.

Clemson also arguably has the best defense LSU has played all season. This is going to be a heavyweight title fight, and I think there’s plenty of evidence to suggest Lawrence and Swinney will go home the winners.
Of course, this is why we play the game! Sound off in the comments with who you’re taking. No matter what happens, I think we’re in for a wild time when Clemson and LSU meet on the field.
Tune in January 13 on ESPN. It’s going to be epic!
