The undefeated Clemson Tigers and LSU Tigers meet on Monday, Jan. 13 in the College Football Playoff National Championship at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET from New Orleans. The SEC-champion Tigers (14-0) have a chance to win their first national title since 2007 in their first appearance in the four-team playoff. They are powered by the nation's top-ranked offense, led by Heisman winner Joe Burrow. Clemson (14-0) seeks its third national title in the past five years and can repeat as champion for the first time in program history.
The Bayou Bengals are 5.5-point favorites, up a half-point from the opener, and the over-under for total points scored is 69.5 in the latest LSU vs. Clemson odds. You'll want to see the latest college football predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model before entering any Clemson vs. LSU picks.
This model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past four-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $4,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also went a sizzling 8-2 on all picks against the spread during Championship Week. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.
Now the model has dialed in on LSU vs. Clemson in the 2020 National Championship Game. We can tell you it's leaning under, and it also says one side of the spread hits in nearly 60 percent of simulations. You can head to SportsLine to see the pick. Now, here are the college football odds and trends for Clemson vs. LSU:
- LSU vs. Clemson spread: LSU -5.5
- LSU vs. Clemson over-under: 69.5 points
- LSU vs. Clemson money line: LSU -225, Clemson +183
- LSU: QB Joe Burrow has thrown 55 touchdown passes and six interceptions
- CLEM: RB Travis Etienne has a rushing TD in eight straight games
The model knows Burrow has gone from unlikely hero to surprise Heisman winner to authoring one of the top seasons in the history of college football. He set season-highs for yards (493), touchdowns (seven) and efficiency rating (239.77) in the Peach Bowl against Oklahoma. He broke numerous College Football Playoff records despite playing slightly more than three quarters since the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
That performance has him in line to potentially break Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's FBS record for single-season efficiency. Burrow sits at 204.60, while Tagovailoa's 2018 record is 199.44. He also could break Texas alum Colt McCoy's single-season accuracy record, having completed 77.6 percent of his throws thus far. McCoy completed 76.7 percent for the Longhorns in 2008. He also has a chance to challenge former Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan's single-season touchdown mark of 58; Burrow has 55 entering the title game.
Despite its electric offense, LSU is not guaranteed to cover the LSU vs. Clemson spread in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game 2020.
That's because Clemson is riding a 29-game winning streak, the longest active run in the nation. It also matches the longest streak in ACC history set by Florida State from 2012-14. Clemson is the only school to register 12 victories over Power Five teams this season.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who has yet to experience defeat in his collegiate career, ran for a 67-yard touchdown and threw a 34-yard scoring pass to Etienne with less than two minutes remaining in Clemson's semifinal victory. Etienne finished with a pair of receiving scores against Ohio State to double his season total.
So who wins Clemson vs. LSU in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game 2020? And which side of the spread can you bank on in almost 60 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the LSU vs. Clemson spread to jump on, all from the advanced model that is up almost $4,000 on its top-rated college football picks, and find out.
